This special issue of the American Journal of Philology illuminates the
nature and function of food and dining in the Roman world, offering
historical, sociological, literary, cultural, and material perspectives.
The articles collected here explore topics from diverse fields to
analyze Roman culture and material practice, including the dietary
practices and nutritional concerns of the Romans, dining and its links
to ideology during the early imperial period, public banqueting and its
social function in Roman society, and the emphasis placed on the waiting
servant in both domestic and funerary settings.
The American Journal of Philology is renowned for its role in helping to
shape American classical scholarship. Today the Journal has achieved
worldwide recognition as a forum for international exchange among
classicists by publishing original research in Greco-Roman literature,
and culture.
