Περίληψη:	At the beginning of the twentieth century and in one of the seminal studies on ancient furniture, Caroline L. Ransom introduced the subject by admitting that “the monumental evidence [on ancient beds] is far from satisfying …. There are fundamental problems of form and construction to which the ancient sources, literary and monumental taken together, do not furnish adequate answers”(Ransom 1905: 13–14). The ancient material that Ransom had at her disposalin 1905 amounted to a bronze Etruscan bed from the seventh century BCE and another from about 200 BCE, “possibly the only one from the second century”(14). She noted numerous beds dating from the centuries immediately beforeand after Christ, followed by a break in the second century CE. With the then available amount of excavated furniture pieces she stressed that discussions should depend upon relief sculpture, wall paintings, and vase decorations in which beds appear. In her time, Greek reliefs, Etruscan wall paintings, and vase paintings of the sixth and fifth centuries BCE along with wall decorations of Roman date were the principal source of information in regard to ancient beds.
