"Les Romains de la décadence" (English: "The Romans of the Decadence") is a large oil painting by French artist Thomas Couture, created in 1847. The artwork, which measures approximately 472 cm × 772 cm (15 ft 6 in × 25 ft 4 in), is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Couture, who was known for his academic painting style, received widespread acclaim for this work, which is considered one of his masterpieces.

The painting depicts a scene of moral decay and voluptuousness in ancient Rome, illustrating the concept of decadence that was believed to have led to the decline of the Roman Empire. It is set during a period of Roman history characterized by excessive luxury, hedonism, and the erosion of traditional values, which were often cited by 19th-century historians as a cautionary tale for contemporary society.

In "Les Romains de la décadence," Couture employs a rich palette and meticulous detail to capture a sumptuous yet debauched feast. The composition is arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye across various groups of figures, each seemingly engaged in their own form of excess or indifference to the decline of their civilization. Central to the painting is a group of semi-nude figures, languidly draped over couches and one another, surrounded by revelers in various states of inebriation and abandon.

Couture's work is often interpreted as a social commentary, reflecting the artist's concerns about the moral state of his own society in the mid-19th century. The painting's classical subject matter and allegorical nature were in keeping with the traditions of the French Academy, yet its critical perspective on societal decay resonated with a contemporary audience facing political upheaval and social change.

"Les Romains de la décadence" was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1847, where it received a medal of the first class, cementing Couture's reputation as a leading painter of his time. The painting's success also contributed to the popularity of historical and moralizing subjects in French academic art. Today, the work is recognized not only for its technical skill and historical significance but also for its enduring relevance as a reflection on the cyclical nature of civilizations and the consequences of moral decline.
