Guest - Host Gifting - Lothia - 12-21-2018 Ave Civitas, I have a question about gifting. Now-a-days is it proper for a guest to bring a gift to a host when invited (to dinner, perhaps). Was it proper during the Later Roman Empire (4th-5th century) for the guest to bring a gift to a host when invited, or for the host to present a gift when a guest arrived? And what if the guest is a client of the host? Would that change protocol? Again, thank you in advance. |
