  1. It's definitely symbolizing the three kings from Wenceslas.


  2. Symbolism of King Arthur's Round Table

    Round Table as symbol of the equality of Arthur's knights.

    The Round Table, in contrast, seems to subvert the feudal hierarchy with its claims of equality among the knights.

    The Round Table's symbolic association with the table of the Last Supper.

    The table used by Jesus and his disciples for the Last Supper usually is depicted as rectangular in Renaissance art, as in Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper." Most medieval pictures of the Last Supper also depict a rectangular table, but sometimes the table is depicted as circular.

    The Round Table's symbolic association with Fortune's Wheel. An explicit link between the Round Table and Fortune's Wheel is found in the Round Table hanging in the Great Hall of Winchester Castle, a 13th-century table that was painted for King Henry VIII, probably in 1522 in preparation for a visit from Emperor Charles V of Germany. The illustration includes a portrait of King Arthur under a canopy, seated on rather than at the Round Table. This is structurally identical to pictures of Fortune's Wheel.

  3. One thing that a round table would mean is that all men are equal (no one is sitting at the head of the table).

    Another might be all men can be heard equally, also everybody can reach the pitcher of beer in the middle.
