The lectisternium was an ancient Roman propitiatory ceremony, consisting of a meal offered to gods and goddesses. The word derives from lectum sternere, "to spread (or "drape") a couch." The deities were represented by their busts or statues, or by portable figures of wood, with heads of bronze, wax or marble, and covered with drapery. It has also been suggested[by whom?] that the divine images were bundles of sacred herbs tied together in the form of a head, covered by a waxen mask so as to resemble a kind of bust, rather like the straw figures called Argei. These figures were laid upon a couch (lectus), the left arm resting on a cushion (pulvinus, whence the couch itself was often called pulvinar) in the attitude of reclining. The couch was set out in the open street, and a meal placed before it on a table. | The lectisternium was an ancient Roman propitiatory ceremony, consisting of a meal offered to gods and goddesses.

La terminologia "stendere i cuscini" deriva dall'usanza di cibarsi su comodi lettini triclinari. Usanza attestata sia in Grecia che in ambiente etrusco-italico, celebri le raffigurazioni etrusche di tali banchetti. | La terminologia "stendere i cuscini" deriva dall'usanza di cibarsi su comodi lettini triclinari.

Le lectisterne (du latin lectisternium, lectum sternere pouvant se traduire par « dresser un lit ») et le sellisterne sont des rituels de la religion romaine consistant à offrir de façon plus ou moins symbolique un banquet aux dieux pour apaiser leur colère et rétablir la pax deorum. Ces rituels offrent de nombreuses similitudes avec les rites processionnaires durant lesquels les effigies des dieux sont transportées et installées sur des sièges pour assister aux spectacles, de la même manière qu'un humain. | Le lectisterne (du latin lectisternium, lectum sternere pouvant se traduire par « dresser un lit ») et le sellisterne sont des rituels de la religion romaine consistant à offrir de façon plus ou moins symbolique un banquet aux dieux pour apaiser leur colère et rétablir la pax deorum.
