"Orgies?"

Myth.

The word orgy derives from a Greek word which means passion - not just sexual but also anger (law speeches talk about people feeling the emotion of orgy a lot).

The Greeks had a hella reputation for being filthy animals, and the Romans looked down on them for it.

"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

Ancient Rome isn't my speciality, but... my speciality is ancient history, so I can usually have a competent crack at it.

when Romans mention Orgy it can also mean and Orgy of food the Wealthy & elite were well know for putting on banquets that lasted all day

I'm not sure that's true, but I suppose it's compatible with something like the Dionysian cult? But my (educated) guess is that it's a stretch
