Περίληψη:	Although in private life wealthy individuals presumably exhibited their power and status through their possessions, we have neither direct literary sources nor enough extant objects from domestic settings pertaining to furniture to fully substantiate this. Only occasionally literary evidence, such as in Aristophane’s Wasps (1214–15), praises metal vessels, the decoration of the ceiling, and the woven hangings in a private banquet as a proper way to start a discussion during the party. On the other hand, surviving temple in ventories make it clear that temples were built to house precious dedications of gold and silver, along with gemstones, ivory, fine woods, and luxurious textiles. Precious materials added to their appeal and manifested the wealth and power of their donors.
