(the feast of Jupiter), a festival of the ancient Romans, held in honor of the father of the gods. At these the gods themselves were supposed to be present; for their statues were brought on rich beds, with their pulvinaria or pillows, and placed at the most honorable part of the table as the principal guests. The care of this apparatus belonged to the epulones (q.v.).
