After an introduction to the sources of evidence and the
different materials used in making Roman furniture, there
follow individual chapters on the different categories of
furniture, such as couches and beds, tables, chairs and
stools, cupboards, storage boxes and shelving. Examples
will be taken from all over the Empire, but there will be
special emphasis on furniture used in the north-west
provinces. The final part of the book discusses the types
of furniture found in rich and poor houses, including
farms and military barracks, as well as the types of
furniture to be found in specific rooms. This is the
first general book on Roman furniture to be published in
English.
