The character that epitomizes the boorish nouveau riche freedman in Petronius' "Satyricon" is Trimalchio. He is a former slave who has amassed wealth and now throws extravagant feasts to display his riches and status. Trimalchio's lack of refinement, ostentatious behavior, and obsession with social climbing reflect the excesses and vulgarity associated with the newly wealthy class in ancient Rome. His character serves as a satirical commentary on the values and pretensions of the elite in society.
