About this Quote

They were known for their political and spiritual influence, in addition to their involvement in various scandals and intrigues. Beerbohm's quote indicates that the Borgias were so well-known that even the Romans, who were known for their decadence and debauchery, could not declare to have dined with them. This quote works as a pointer of the power and impact of the Borgias, along with the worry and wonder they influenced in their contemporaries. It likewise functions as a cautioning to those who seek to imitate the Borgias, as their reputation is still remembered centuries later.
