Author John F. Donahue ranges from the extravagant banquets of the emperors to the feasts of the cities and towns of the Western Empire during the first four centuries of the Common Era. Taking as a starting point the development of feasting in ancient Greece then Rome, the study considers the kinds of foods offered at feasts, the social identities of benefactors and beneficiaries, the importance of venue, and a discussion of the cost and frequency of such banquets. This study is unique in that it relies on over three hundred Latin honorary inscriptions to recreate the ancient Roman feast. John F. Donahue is Assistant Professor of Classics at the College of William and Mary.

Bankette waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der antiken Herrscherrepräsentation. In dieser Funktion werden sie hier erstmals aus den Quellen rekonstruiert, systematisch dargestellt und analysiert. Dabei geht es auch um Fragen, ob es einen genetischen Zusammenhang zwischen hellenistischem 'deipnon basilikon' und kaiserlichem convivium gibt und ob es sich bei diesen Veranstaltungen um einheitlich strukturierte Institutionen handelt. Es eröffnen sich Einblicke nicht nur in die 'Tischkultur' bei König und Kaiser, sondern auch in die Erwartungen sowie in die Art und Weise, in der das unterschiedliche Selbstverständnis der Herrscher in rituelle Lebensformen ihres Hofes bzw. Hauses überführt wurde. Banquettes were an important part of the representation of classical rulers. In this function they are reconstructed from the sources, systematically presented and analysed here for the first time. In the process, the question of the possible existence of a genetic relation between the Hellenic 'deipnon basilikon' and emporer's convivium is considered, and also whether these events constitute uniformly structured institutions. It provides insights not only into the 'table customs' of kings and emperors, but also into the expectations of and the manner in which different rulers self-conceptions were manifested in the ritual life of their courts and houses.
