The cubicula (plural for cubiculum) were used for work and study, the private reception of a small number of guests, and sleeping. It was common for these intimate rooms to be highly decorated, often with erotic scenes. They were also found in suites with triclinia (dining rooms) and baths, so that the owner and his privileged guests could move easily and "naturally" from one activity to the next. As in this instance, cubicula often had barrel vaulted ceilings. Sometimes, these worked together with mosaics on the floor to define small alcoves for beds.
This room was designed and decorated by Joshua White.
