Rome · In time of crisis
When the Gods Came to Dinner
A lectisternium, literally a spreading of couches, was a Roman rite in which images of the gods were laid on cushioned couches and served a banquet, as if they were honored guests. Livy says the first was held in 399 BC, when a bitter winter was followed by a summer of disease. The Sibylline Books were consulted, and for eight days three couches were spread for Apollo and Latona, Hercules and Diana, and Mercury and Neptune. Livy adds that doors stood open across the city, strangers were welcomed, quarrels were set aside and prisoners were freed from their chains.
The rite was repeated in times of danger. In 217 BC, after Hannibal's victory at Lake Trasimene, Livy reports a lectisternium of three days for twelve gods on six couches, from Jupiter and Juno to Mercury and Ceres. A related banquet, the Feast of Jupiter, was held on the Capitol during the Roman Games, with Jupiter on a couch and Juno and Minerva seated beside him.
The piece
The painting sets three couches across a lamp-lit square before a temple hung with red cloth. On the left a bearded god with a staff reclines beside a goddess with an owl at her shoulder. Apollo holds his lyre in the center, and on the right a bearded god grips a trident, each with a crowned goddess at his side. Tables heaped with grapes, bread and fruit stand before them. In the foreground worshippers kneel on the wet stones, and the eye moves past their backs, up the steps, to the glowing doors of the temple. High on a column at the far left stands the she-wolf of Rome.
