Triclinium
The Triclinium generally indicated at the Romains the room of reception of the dwelling houses or dining room, comprising inclined beds, around whose a roundtable or square was arranged in order to present dishes to it. Each bed comprised in theory three places. Simpler alternatives were composed of two beds ( biclinium ) face to face.
In a preoccupation with a propriety, the children and the young girls who took share with the meal had sat with the foot of the beds. The housewife could also dine sitted, which granted to him the clean distance to its respectability, and the monitoring of the service facilitated to him.
The triclinium could also be installed in outside, in a court or a garden, for the dinners of summer.
