Garden Dining Area

In The House Of The Ephebe At Pompeii (between AD 62 and 79). The masonry couches formed a []-shaped triclinium, on which diners reclined round a low central table, shaded by a vine-covered pergola. In the background water played from a small fountain shrine; in the foreground a cylindrical pedestal supported the bronze statue of a youth who held candelabra to light the evening banquets.
