Thus, the architectural context with a large stibadium and a pavement of asárôtos oîkos, the servants and the various objects used for the preparation and service of food and drink, the guests and the three mensae of sumptuous and expensive materials, covered with white linen tablecloths. Considering the testimonies of some ancient authors, some of these representations, which offer an exceptional scene of a convivium, and also the parallels of two wall- paintings from 4th century AD, can be used to state that the mosaic must have come from the territories of the eastern part of the Empire, dating to the third quarter of the 4th century AD.}, number={18}, publisher={Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi}
