It is an amazing work, to be sure.

As for the whole concept of the lectus tricliniaris, I just don’t get it.

I have seen movies in which Romans are depicted as reclining to eat. They usually prop themselves up on one elbow. Cannot imagine how else one could eat while lying down. And I cannot imagine why such a position would be favored over sitting as we do.
