triclinia

The triclinium was a room used by the Romans as a dining room. The term "triclinium" comes from the Latin "triclinium", which literally means "three beds". The typical arrangement of the triclinium included three beds arranged in a "U" shape around a low table, where diners could recline on cushions and eat their meals. This setup was common in the homes of wealthy Romans during the Roman Empire era. It was a space dedicated to socializing and dining together, and often reflected the social status and wealth of the host through its decoration and furnishings.
