It often implies a request or command for someone to be brought to a particular place, usually for a specific purpose or meeting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, communication and travel were not as instantaneous as today. Sending for someone often involved dispatching a messenger or a servant to convey the request.
