They sat at the same table : the custom was, according to a fragment of the poet Accius, ' ut cum dominis famuli epulentur ibidem. ' If the master did not actually feast with his slaves, he kept out of the way, and gave them as little trouble as possible : thus Cicero says he will not go to one of his country seats at the time of the Saturnalia, ' that I may not be a burden to the household, ' ^ A similar suspension or inversion of ordinary relations is recorded as having been customary in x'\rcadia, when sacrifice was offered to the Heroes.^ Thus the idea of a Golden Age, mythical and fanciful in many of its forms, was not without its practical value.
