Abstract
Collective consumption of food is one of the most distinctive features of community cults in the Ancient Near East. Rituals of commensality had both a political and social meaning and entailed the membership in an elitist group or in a wider community. Recent discoveries in Middle/Late Bronze Levant (Sidon) as well as in the Iron Age in Phoenician contexts (Motya) may illustrate the deep roots of rites which became typical custom of the Mediterranean civilisation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
