"Now has anyone made a portable lectus?"
Well, funny you should ask
I recently finished work on the basic version of a Lectica in beach and pine. It can be disassembled to its bare elements and will double as a lectus and lectica. It made it's maiden appearance at the recent jubilee of the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam. My cracious doughter had the honour of being the first carried and apparently the elevated position went straight to her head; she complained that since the Lecticarii were of unequal length she rocked too much for good comfort...
I will post pictures asap!
