Historical Curiosities 

The peacock, present in the mosaics and frescoes of the Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, was a symbol of immortality and prestige. Its association with Juno, queen of the Gods, made it an emblem of divine beauty and prosperity. At Roman banquets, the peacock was often represented to exalt the luxury and opulence of the hosts.
