The Symbolic Supper. Early Christian catacomb of Saints Marcellinus and Peter. Paleochristian art.

"[In the Catacomb of Saints Marcellinus and Peter] Many cubiculi were painted by one artist, whose power of invention was rather restricted. He has but two subjects: the story of Jonah, and the Symbolic Supper. Of this last there are four representations, all reproduced from the same pattern, of which I give an example [the above picture]. A family consisting of father, mother, and children, are sitting around a table, upon which the ἰχθὺς or fish is served; the banquet is presided over by two mystic figures, Irene or Peace on the left, Agape or Love on the right. The head of the family addresses Peace with these words: "Irene, da calda!" and Love, "Agape, misce mi!" The last words are easily understood: "Give me to drink," the verb mescere being still used in the same sense in Tuscany, where a wine-shop is sometimes called a mescita di vino. The meaning of the word calda is not certain. There is no doubt, as Bötticher says, that the ancients had something to correspond to our tea: but the calda seems to have been more than an infusion; apparently it was a mixture of hot water, wine, and drugs, that is, a sort of punch, which was drunk mostly in winter. The names written in charcoal above the principal inscriptions in this illustration are those of Pomponio Leto and his academicians." (Rodolfo Lanciani, 1892, p357)
