Hellenistic and Byzantine writers sometimes referred to the size of rooms by the number of dining couches that could fit into them. Do we know roughly what size of room this meant in modern units? Otherwise I'd guess that a five-couch hall was say 5 by 3 meters by visualizing 2 x 1 m couches around the perimeter packed as tightly as reasonably possible.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
