ABSTRACT
ONE may add here another insatiable, monstrous glutton, Phagon, whom Sabellicus describes in his life of Aurelian.1 Suetonius mentions a similar Clodius Albinus.2 There were Firmus and the carouser Bonosus, too; according to Flavius Vopiscus, Aurelian said of the latter that he had been born not to live but to drink. When at length he was hanged, it was said to be a wine jar rather than a man dangling there.3
