Meanwhile, it's said that ancient Greeks and Romans ate their meals lying down. Special dining couches were arranged around the table. Each couch, called a triclinium (from the Greek "kline," meaning bed), could fit up to three men. Each reclined with their head toward the table and their left elbow resting on a cushion. The hostess, other guests, or attendants had to use chairs, and slaves had to stand the entire time.
(Bernd Brunner, The Art of Lying Down)
