LECTISTER'NIUM. A religious ceremony amongst the Romans, comprising a sumptuous banquet offered to the gods, at which their statues were brought out and placed upon tricliniary couches (lecti) at a table furnished with every kind of delicacy, and provided under the direction of the Epulones. (Liv. xxii. 10. v. 3. xl. 59.) The illustration (Lectisternium/1.1) represents a lectisternium given to Serapis, Isis, Sol, and Luna, from a terra-cotta lamp.
