Excerpt from Pompeiana, Vol. 2 of 2: The Topography, Edifices and Ornaments of Pompeii, the Result of Excavations Since 1819 In a line with the tablinum are two other apartments of the same size, one of which was probably the triclinium, and the other an exedra or pinacotheca. There are only two cubiculi in this court, and only three in the atrium, the upper floor probably sup plying the other necessary bedrooms. The step from the atrium to the tabli num is faced with a remarkably pretty sculp ture of leaves and flowers. The triclinium is painted within In imitation of brickwork a taste which continues to prevail in modern Italy. The other room is decorated with pic tures of game and hunting, so that, if it be true that the ornaments were analogous to the uses of the chamber, these would be more appropriate to the dining-room than to the pinacotheca.
