On the bill for Haterius' birthday party are acrobats and dancers... great! But a philosopher? Eryllus, the Judge of Good-Taste, does his best to persuade Haterius that he'll want to meet this particular philosopher!
There's just one thing missing from Haterius' birthday-banquet - the Greek girl, Euphrosyne! A chase through Rome, a spot of philosophy and a drunken brawl - this is going to be a day that Haterius will never forget!
