Topic: Triclinium

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.10.18
		The plan of the house includes features such as a large peristyle and triclinium, and a fish pond (piscina) that were common in the houses of the pro-Roman cultured elite in the Greek east.
		In this connection the author notes that the triclinium of the House of the Triumph of Dionysos at Antioch has the same subject for the entrance panel and that the room itself is about the same width (8.7 m at Antioch; 8.5 at Paphos).
		The triclinium's arbor carpet, the subject of the following chapter, reveals the surprisingly close parallels to a North African type produced from the mid-second to fifth centuries, with the difference that the Paphian pavement employs upright vines rather than ones growing from craters placed diagonally (241-243).

	VILLA IVLILLA > ATRIVM HOUSES > TABLINIVM
		The triclinium, or dining room, took its name from the three couches on which family members and their guests lounged to take their meals.
		Each couch was wide enough to accommodate three diners who reclined on their left side on cushions while some household slaves served multiple courses rushed out of the culina, or kitchen and others entertained guests with music, song or dance.
		Each of the three couches in the triclinium carried significant social standing, as did the three positions on the couch.

	TRICLINIUM - Encyclopedia Britannica - TRICLINIUM - JCSM's Study Center
		TRICLINIUM, in Roman antiquities, a set of three couches (lecti) arranged round a four-sided dining table, one side of which was left open to provide free access for the attendant slaves.
		These couches were distinguished as the highest (A, lectus summus), the middle (B, lectus medius) and the lowest (C, lectus imus); the guests who reclined on B had A on their left and Con their right.
		The dining-room itself was also called triclinium, and in the houses of wealthy Romans there were several triclinia suited to the different seasons of the year.

		Often, children that came from wealthy families were seated in the triclinium next to their parents.

	American Academy in Rome - The House of Diana on the Forum
		To the right of the tablinum is found the blocked doorway of a triclinium, which probably ended along the line of the rear wall of the atrium.
		Access between the atrium and the triclinium was blocked, making the triclinium into a far more private space, closely related to the garden rather than to the public areas of the house.
		The whole of the house was newly decorated in this period: the tablinum and triclinium were given simple fl and white mosaics, while the rest of the house was paved with decorated signinum floors.

		A triclinium (reception hall) was located in the northern part of the building, which opened onto the courtyard via three doors.
		The mosaic found in the triclinium was designed as one colorful rectangular carpet, measuring 9 x 7 m., that covered almost the entire floor.
		At this stage of excavations, the plan of the building is not yet clear, but it is evident that a triclinium was located in its center.

		o~,cos, house, used toy Vitruvius for the principal hall or saloon in a Roman house, which was used occasionally as a triclinium for banquets.
		When of great size it became necessary to support its ceiling with columns; thus, according to Vitruvius, the tetrastyle oecus had four columns; in the Corinthian oecus there was a row of columns on each side, virtually therefore dividing the room into nave and aisles, the former being covered over with a semicircular ceiling.
		The Egyptian oecus had a similar plan, but the aisles were of less height, so that clerestory windows were introduced to light the room, which, as Vitruvius states, presents more the appearance of a basilica than of a triclinium.

	A Synagogue from the Hasmonean Period Exposed at Jericho by Ehud Netzer
		We believe that the builders’ initial intention was to locate the triclinium along the central axis of the hall; however, in such a case the central pillar would have been a visual obstacle.
		A triangular small room, revealed north of the triclinium, was added to the synagogue hall at the same time as the triclinium and was apparently used as a kitchen.
		In our opinion, the most reasonable range of time for the construction of all three phases was between 75 and 50 B.C.E. (a period in which both Queen Salome and later her two rival sons were active), although this interval might have been slightly longer.

		In Jn 2:8,9 the ruler or governor of the feast is called architriklinos, that is, the master of the triclinium.

	Perfect Passive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		If one wanted to say "The dining room has been prepaired," prepared, just like in English, is the past participle, and has been is a form of sum, which sounds just like English but with a twist.
		Please be careful when translating the perfect passive: Triclinium paratum est would be "The dining room has been prepaired," or "The dining room was," but not "The dining room is prepaired." (From this admonition you can anticipate test questions.)
		Since the participle is part adjective, it must agree with its subject, which is why I wrote "Triclinium paratum est." The only thing to get used to here is applying what you already know about adjectives to verbs when a form of the perfect passive is the verb.
