The triclinium is a room that functions as a formal dining room in the homes of wealthy people. It was characterized by having three klinai (kliné in the singular, lectus in Latin) which are a kind of divans or elongated armchairs, placed in a U-shape around a low table, leaving the open side facing the entrance to the room. Each kliné or lectus was large enough to accommodate three diners who reclined on their left side on soft cushions of different sizes. The kliné or lectus was a piece of furniture usually made of wood with bronze decorations, the wooden top was open, crisscrossed with leather or wooden straps, like a bedstead, that supported larger cushions. The klinai clothes, as well as the cushions, are based on the iconographic sources provided by mosaics and frescoes, such as those from Centocelle and Pompeii, both from the 1st century AD. approximately.
