Zusammenfassung: | It is argued that the likely context for Pliny's assumption of "handouts in triclinia" (Ep. 2.14.4) is the semi-public banquet of municipal magistrates, where inscriptions suggest that the distribution of money to those dining could be a public show. It is argued that the excellent evidence from Romanized Greece should not be neglected in such matters./Chez Pline (Ep. 2.14.4), le contexte probable des distributions de sportules "in triclinio" serait celui du banquet à demi public offert par les magistrats municipaux. Les témoignages épigraphiques provenant de la Grèce romaine, précieux et trop souvent négligés, indiquent que ces distributions aux convives pouvaient être une démonstration publique. |
