hall or See also:saloon in a See also:Roman house, which was used occasionally as a See also:triclinium for banquets. When of See also:great See also:size it became necessary to support its See also:ceiling with columns; thus, according to Vitruvius, the See also:tetrastyle oecus had four columns; in the Corinthian oecus there was a See also:row of columns on each See also:side, virtually therefore dividing the See also:room into See also:nave and aisles, the former being covered over with a semi-circular ceiling. The See also:Egyptian oecus had a similar See also:plan, but the aisles were of less height, so that See also:clerestory windows were introduced to See also:light the room, which, as Vitruvius states, presents more the See also:appearance of a See also:basilica than of a triclinium.
