Answer
Lots of fun possibilities - - - the simplest thing for food is as old as woman/man kind - - - breads - - - veggies - - - fruit - - - roasted meats - - - cheeses // // Preferably served on Silver plates that look Roman, a simple basic design, round plates with fluted edges. Communal plates and if your guests need plates, well, discretely provide them with simple circular wooden plates.
You can find these wonderful crude glass plates that look truly ancient but still would stick with silver or gold/ Actuality being clever, Gold for Purple Grapes, Silver for Roasted Lamb, etc. Cloth napkins simple white cotton.
Toss out all modern furniture. Depending on budget, if budget is a bit low, go to Hardware or Monster Mart and get several sturdy BACKLESS benches... ... Benches get covered with thick white blanket beneath white sheet stretched tight. Large fluffy pillows here and there. If you can, three or four simple X wooden chairs or warrior stools or a mix. Short 'Doric collomns three to four feet high can serve as tables but three or four circular marble tables would be great. Statuary would be impressive. A simple Marble fountain spouting white or sparkling juice or both would be a nice touch.
Enough - - - - here is a few copied bits...
"""Wealthy Romans bought food from the open air markets. Every week farmers and fishermen went to the towns to sell fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat. The Romans ate their first meal at dawn. This meal was small and usually consisted of bread, salad, olives, cheese, fruit, nuts, and cold meat left over from dinner the night before. At noon the Romans ate a small quick meal. After lunch everyone took a 2 to 3 hour nap. Even children were excused from school for this time. The evening meal was served at sunset and usually consisted of a large meal with the entire family. A typical meal consisted of soup with legumes, milk, cheese, fresh and dried fruit, and lard. Later meat and bread was added to this meal.
In the wealthy homes slaves spent a large part of the day preparing food for their masters. Dinner parties were given by the men of wealthy families. The women and children dined separately. The meal was served in the dining room which was the finest room in the house. This room could have marble, mosaic, frescoes, fountains, fish tanks, tables with silver and flower inlays. Everyone reclined on couches that were arranged in a U shape around a low table. Musicians entertained the guests during the meal. These parties started with salads, eggs, and shellfish. Then guests were given wine which had been sweetened with honey.
The meal could be up to seven dishes. Slaves served the guests and wiped the fingers of the guests between courses. Cheese made from goat and sheep milk could be served. The main course might include boiled and roasted meat. Favorite meats included mutton (sheep meat), goat meat, pork, ham and bacon, chicken, goose and duck, and fish, especially tuna. The meat was sliced by the slaves, so it could be eaten with the fingers. Foods were seasoned with herbs like dill, thyme, basil, and mint. The final course may consist of fruit, dates, and cakes sweetened with honey. Yogurt could be mixed with the fruit. Walnuts, chestnuts, and acorns were also mixed with the foods.
(Wanna 'shock' surprise your guests? Find an energetic actor/actress type or hire a pro, and have them make themselves into White Marble statues. The trick is to get them to be perfectly still for about a half hour, takes discipline, at a key moment, when raising glasses in prayer/benediction, the statue (s) come to life)

Poor families may eat a meal of foods they could grow. They grew beans, vegetables, and fruits. Common fruits were apples, pears, and figs. Common vegetables included onions, cucumbers, carrots, garlic, and cabbage. Poor Romans often ate a dinner of porridge made from vegetables. When the family could afford it fish, bread, olives. and wine were added to the meal. Bread was often dipped into olive oil. Meat was seldom eaten. """
