ANACLINTERIA, in antiquity, a kind of pillows on the dining bed, wherein the guests used to lean. The ancient tricliniary beds had four pillows, one at the head, another at the feet, a third at the back, and a fourth at the breast. That on which the head lay, was properly called by the Greeks ανακλινήριον or ανακλινήριον; by the Romans fulerum, sometimes plutens.
