This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...see to it that those little curls do you small good.'--notavlmus: Introd. p. xl. So Mart. ii. 71, 1, Candidius nihil est te, Caeciliane; notavi, cf. the phrase nota bene.--matellam argenteam: an example of Trim.'s lautitia, with which cf. his private horologium and bucinator, just mentioned. Social conditions in Nero's time had many modern features, particularly in the rise' of the parvenu and the ostentation of the nouveau riche. Ordinarily the matella was made of bronze or clay; Mart alludes to a very elaborate one in Epigram. xi. 11, 6, Te potare decet gemma, qui Mentora frangis in scaphium moechae, Sardanapalle, tuae.--alter numerabat pilas: Trim. plays the game like any rich man, contenting himself with simply sending the balls for others to catch on the bound; commonly the successful catches were counted, but here the failures were scored and the dead balls were left to lie where they fell. Cf. Marq. Privatl. p. 841 ff.--Menelaus: mentioned only here in the Cena; he is an instructor who assists Agamemnon.--cubitum ponetla: 'dine'; cf. reclinatus in cubitum, 39, 4; reposui cubitum, 65, 14. Many ancient monuments show the Roman resting his left arm upon a pulvinus while reclining at dinner. Cf. Marq. Privatl. p. 303.--principium cenae: Friedlander suggests that Trim. probably partook of a light lunch here, and that this explains why he appeared at table after the eating had begun. That lunches were sold at the baths is shown by Mart. xii. 19, In thermis sumit lactucas ova lacertum' Aemilius; Sen. Ep. 66, 2, complains of the cries of the cake and sausage venders. Exercise was, however, practically a part of the dinner; cf. Hor. Sat. i. 5, where Maecenas and his friends play ball before dining. 28. Longum erat singula excipere: it would be a long task' (b...
