A Roman Symposium:The
Development of the
Convivium
By Henry Zeng
The Convivium: A Roman Symposium
Two distinct stages of the Convivium can
be recognized:
1. The reception and entertainment of the
guests in the library before the meal.
2. An announcement by a slave.
3. The gather of the guests in the triclinium
for the dinner itself.
Verres’ henchman, Rubrius, asks Philodamus to summon his daughter to
the party.1
It is not the custom of the Greeks that women should recline at the
convivium of the men.2
- Response of Philodamus in Cicero’s Verrine orations
A brawl breaks out, one the Romans is killed, and eventually the
unfortunate Philodemus and his son are condemned to death.3
For what Roman is ashamed to bring his wife to a feast, or whose consort does
not occupy the best room in the house, and live in the midst of company? 1
But in Greece the case is far otherwise; for a wife is neither admitted to a feast,
except among relations, nor does she sit anywhere but in the innermost
apartment of the house, which is called the gynaeconitis, and into which
nobody goes who is not connected with her by near relationship. 2
-Cornelius Nepos in Lives of Eminent Commanders
Definition of Triclinium
noun | tri·clin·i·um | trī-ˈkli-nē-əm
1: A couch extending around three sides of a table used by the ancient Romans for reclining at meals.
2: A dining room furnished with a triclinium.
Layout of the Triclinium
Three couches, each holding up to three diners in comfort, fitted closely
together around a single central table.1
The room, with its black walls, is elegant but crowded, with very little
space available for the servants.2
A single round table in the center, and niches beneath the sides of the
couches where objects could be stored.3
Roman Triclinium found at the Casa del Criptoportico, Pompeii
The Stibadium
A rectangular room had the mosaic divided into two portions; the front
half is richly decorated, the back marked out with a broad semicircle.1
Seven individual wedge-shaped segments into which the couch was
divided.2
The central square was used in part by those serving at the meal. It was
here that the servants stood in readiness to attend to each diner’s
summons.3
Those reclining on the sigma-couch could look out through the dining
room’s folding doors into a courtyard framed by curving colonnades and
equipped with a well-stocked fish pond. Beyond this lay a magnificent
view of the Garonne valley and the surrounding hills. 1

Roman triclinium presentation.

  • 1. A Roman Symposium:The Development of the Convivium By Henry Zeng
  • 2. The Convivium: A Roman Symposium Two distinct stages of the Convivium can be recognized: 1. The reception and entertainment of the guests in the library before the meal. 2. An announcement by a slave. 3. The gather of the guests in the triclinium for the dinner itself.
  • 3.
  • 4. Verres’ henchman, Rubrius, asks Philodamus to summon his daughter to the party.1 It is not the custom of the Greeks that women should recline at the convivium of the men.2 - Response of Philodamus in Cicero’s Verrine orations A brawl breaks out, one the Romans is killed, and eventually the unfortunate Philodemus and his son are condemned to death.3
  • 5. For what Roman is ashamed to bring his wife to a feast, or whose consort does not occupy the best room in the house, and live in the midst of company? 1 But in Greece the case is far otherwise; for a wife is neither admitted to a feast, except among relations, nor does she sit anywhere but in the innermost apartment of the house, which is called the gynaeconitis, and into which nobody goes who is not connected with her by near relationship. 2 -Cornelius Nepos in Lives of Eminent Commanders
  • 6. Definition of Triclinium noun | tri·clin·i·um | trī-ˈkli-nē-əm 1: A couch extending around three sides of a table used by the ancient Romans for reclining at meals. 2: A dining room furnished with a triclinium.
  • 7. Layout of the Triclinium Three couches, each holding up to three diners in comfort, fitted closely together around a single central table.1 The room, with its black walls, is elegant but crowded, with very little space available for the servants.2 A single round table in the center, and niches beneath the sides of the couches where objects could be stored.3
  • 8.
  • 9.
  • 10. Roman Triclinium found at the Casa del Criptoportico, Pompeii
  • 11.
  • 12. The Stibadium A rectangular room had the mosaic divided into two portions; the front half is richly decorated, the back marked out with a broad semicircle.1 Seven individual wedge-shaped segments into which the couch was divided.2 The central square was used in part by those serving at the meal. It was here that the servants stood in readiness to attend to each diner’s summons.3
  • 13. Those reclining on the sigma-couch could look out through the dining room’s folding doors into a courtyard framed by curving colonnades and equipped with a well-stocked fish pond. Beyond this lay a magnificent view of the Garonne valley and the surrounding hills. 1 - Sidonius’ account of Leontius’ villa in Gaul

Drawn from Dunbabin’s article “Triclinium and Stibadium” There are generally two layouts for the triclinium. the U shape, and the T+U shape. This layout is typical of the 2nd and 3rd century AD. It does not disappear afterwards, but the Stibadium begins to appear in literary sources afterwards

It appears that it was not considered good form to entertain large number of guests at a single triclinium, Hence romans would have more than one in a particular villa.

Is identified by the layout of the mosaics (much like the triclinium) Compared to the spacing in the Triclinium, the Stibadium had a wide open space for movement. Also, the Stibadium’s use of the sigma-couch may have made the middle position more honorable and then made the cornu dextro (right wing) more prominent. The semicircular sigma-couch replaces the triple couches of the Triclinium The original form of the Stibadium arose from greek word of Stibades which means the leaves or foliage on which participants of such feasts revlined.
