| dc.description | Records from Mari concerning food are abundant. It is posssible to discern what was regularly consumed, by whom and how much. Daily records were maintained of food outlay as well as monthly inventories. Professor Sasson uses this background to begin a discussion of "the king's table" or "the king's meal". This ceremonial meal was central to instilling solidarity among hosts and guests. | en_US |
