“…The existence of a relationship between the dimensions and function of dining rooms has already been proposed by Éric Morvillez (1996 and2005) and Katherine Dunbabin (1998), in their works on room dimensions and the respective mosaic carpets, suggesting their suitability for certain types of lecti and, consequently, for different convivial contexts. Regarding the Peninsular area, María Pilar Galve Izquierdo has also observed similarities in the dimensions of some triclinia of Celsa (Casa de la Tortuga and Casa del Emblema) and the opus signinum pavement of the Pamplona Archdeaconry (Pompaelo) (Galve Izquierdo 1996: fig.…”

“…These spaces, identifiable as androi, show markedly Hellenic morphological characteristics and proportions (Olmos 1995: 52-55; Mar & Ruiz de Arbulo 1993: 364-376). This reflects the specificities of the furniture of Hellenic tradition, its arrangement being distinct from their Roman counterparts (Dunbabin 1998;Morvillez 2005;Uribe Agudo 2013: 23-27).…”

This study aims to characterise the urban dining rooms located in the province of Lusitania from a metrological and morphological point of view. The studied examples were identified in the cities of Conimbriga (Condeixa-a-Velha), Capera (Cáparra), Augusta Emerita (Mérida), and Mirobriga (Santiago do Cacém) and were built between the 1st and the 3rd century CE. The conducted analyses demonstrated the existence of a certain hierarchy in room dimensions, with widths being more homogeneous. This led to the definition of four size clusters, that have a more heterogeneous set of lengths associated, suggesting greater importance of room width, possibly related to the placement of the couches. The existence of relatively standardised size clusters, as well as the presence of several dining rooms in the same house, suggest a relationship between size and functional character, as well as the existence of established rules for the sizing of certain spaces.
