However, they sat at a table instead of eating on the klinai or lectus, the couches were the adults reclined to eat. Imperial children are reported reclining on the lectus imus below their father, or seated at the ends of the parent's couches, or seated at a separate and more rustic table with other young nobles. The couches were ranked as the highest (lectus summus), the middle (lectus medius) and the lowest (lectus imus);
