These traveling showmen were practically tramps and first appeared in the late 4th century. They earned their travel and living expenses through dazzling displays of skill on city streets, at festivals and weddings, and at banquets hosted by the royal court or in the homes of nobility.
從西元 4 世紀末，這群既是旅行者又像流浪漢的人，在市集、節慶或婚禮中表演，也在宮廷或貴族的宴會上現藝，以炫奇的技藝謀取生活費及旅費。
