The Sweating Chamber
Joc. It is bigger in my opinion than the dining-room would lead one to expect.
Vitr. Don’t you notice that the inner sleeping-room is heated by the same steam-pipe?
Joc. They say that if sleeping-rooms had no chimney flue they would be warmer.
Vitr. It is not usual to have them in the air-holes.
Joc. What is that room, so elegantly vaulted?
The Chapel
Vitr. It is the chapel (lararium) or sanctuary (sacellum) in which divine service (res divina) is held.
Joc. Where is the latrina?
Vitr. We have it up in the granary out of the way. In the sleeping-rooms my master uses basins, pans, and chamber-crockery.
