a dining room. The name derives from the three ( tri-) couches ( klinai) arranged along the walls for pairs of reclining banqueters.
A Triclinium (plural triclinia) is a room in a Roman building characterized by three surfaces, or couches known as klinai, on three sides of a low square table, those surfaces sloped away from the table at about 10 degrees. Diners would recline on these surfaces in a semi-recumbent position. The fourth side of the table was left open, presumably to allow service to the table.
