THAL'AMUS (θάλαμος). A word adopted from the Greek, and bearing a very general and similar signification in both languages, in which it occurs in the sense of a bedchamber (DORMITORIUM); but especially the principal one, in which a married couple reposed (wood-cut s. DOMUS, 2. p. 252. g.); a dwelling-room (CUBICULUM), especially amongst the inner apartments of the house; or the entire dwelling-house itself. Virg. Aen. vi. 623. Vitruv. vi. 10. 2. Ov. Met. ii. 738. Virg. Aen. vi. 280.
