Meals in the Early Christian World: Social Formation, Experimentation, and Conflict at the Table

Smith, Dennis E.; Taussig, H.

This book provides three categories of investigation: 1) The Typology and Context of the Greco-Roman Banquet, 2) Who Was at the Greco-Roman Banquets, and 3) The Culture of Reclining. Together these studies establish festive meals as an essential lens into social formation in the Greco-Roman world.
