Abstract

In this contribution I will first enter upon Roman household furniture and espe- cially the preservation of wooden furniture and its specific use in everyday life. In the second part, as a case study, I will treat the sources we have at our disposal about Roman banquets (convivia) and the rooms in which they took place. The interior decoration and the furniture used will be discussed, as well as the etiquette that hadto be observed during dining and drinking.
