Text Appearing Before Image:
in Italy in other passages. (Cic.pro Cluent. 59, Phil. ii. 31 ; Hor. Ep. i. 11. 11;Propert. iv. 8. 19; Acts of the Apostles, xxviii.15.) At Rome, there must have been many innsto accommodate strangers, but they are hardly everspoken of. We, however, find frequent mentionof houses where wine and ready-dressed provisionswere sold, and which appear to have been nume-rous in all parts of the city. The houses wherepersons were allowed to eat and drink were usuallycalled Popinae and not cauponae ; and the keepersof them, Popae. They were principally frequentedby slaves and the lower classes (Cic. Pro Mil. 24),and were consequently only furnished with stoolsto sit upon instead of couches, whence Martial (v.70) calls these places sellariolas popinas. Thiscircumstance is illustrated by a painting found atPompeii in a wine-shop, representing a drinking-scene. There are four persons sitting on stoolaround a tripod table.

Above them are different sorts of eatableshung upon a row of pegs. The Thermopolia, which are spoken of in thearticle Calida, appear to have been the same asthe popinae. Many of these popinae Avere littlebetter than the Lufanarvx or brothels ; whence CAUTIO. Horace (Sat. ii. 4. 62) calls them immundaspopinas. The wine-shop at Pompeii, where thepainting described above was found, seems to havebeen a house of this description; for behind theshop there is an inner chamber containing paint-ings of every species of indecency. (Gells Pom-peiana, vol. ii. p. 10.) The Ganeae, which aresometimes mentioned in connection with thepopinae (Suet. Tib. 34), were brothels, whencethey are often classed with the lustra. (Liv. xxvi.2; Cic. Phil. xiii. 11, Pro Send. 9.) Under theemperors many attempts were made
