Tryphé (Greek: ''τρυφἠ'') -- variously glossed as "softness",〔 〕 "voluptuousness",〔 〕 "magnificence"〔 〕 and "extravagance",〔 none fully adequate—is a concept that drew attention (and severe criticism) in Roman antiquity when it became a significant factor in the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty.〔 〕 Classical authors such as Aeschines and Plutarch condemned the ''tryphé'' of Romans such as Crassus and Lucullus, which included lavish dinner parties and ostentatious buildings.〔 〕 But there was more to Ptolemaic ''tryphé'' than dissipative excess, which after all can be pursued in residential or geographical seclusion, and for purely private purposes. It was a component of a calculated political strategy, in that it deployed not just conspicuous consumption but also conspicuous magnificence, beneficence and feminine delicacy, as a self-reinforcing cluster of signal propaganda concepts in the Ptolemaic dynasty.〔〔 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tryphé」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
