Their principal meal was what they called _cœna_ or supper. The usualtime for it was the ninth hour, or about three o'clock in the afternoon.
While at meals, they reclined on sumptuous couches of a semicircularform, around a table of the same shape. This custom was introduced fromthe nations of the east, and was at first adopted only by the men, butafterwards allowed also to the women.
The dress worn at table differed from that in use on other occasions, and consisted merely of a loose robe of ...a slight texture, and generallywhite.
Before supper the Romans bathed themselves, and took various kinds ofexercise, such as tennis, throwing the discus or quoit, riding, running, leaping, &c.
Small figures of Mercury, Hercules and the penates, were placed upon thetable, of which they were deemed the presiding genii; and a smallquantity of wine was poured upon the board, at the commencement and endof the feast, as a libation in honor of them, accompanied by a prayer.
As the ancients had not proper inns for the accommodation of travellers, the Romans, when they were in foreign countries, or at a distance fromhome, used to lodge at the houses of certain persons whom they in returnentertained at their houses in Rome.
