Not far away: right track, but incorrect answer.

i believe you are being very picky Mcdread ... triclinium is the roman dining table....

 

[Rubber Ducky]

Yes, its something like that, though i belive its the Dining room as opposed to the furniture, but im just going of my memoried of HS Latin.

since it's "tri", its the 3 couchs of a roman dining room

 

[Zakal]

This isn't an answer, Rubber Ducky had it, but it's the dining room of richer Romans. It's called that b/c of combination of three stone bench-type things built into the room.

I think a lectus is a couch, but a wooden one that could be moved around.

Yes, a dining room. The couches are called lectus IIRC (Zakal said it too). I think you should be the one having it RD.
