Luxury chairs were signs of wealth and status. For most normal people seating consisted of sitting on the ground, on raised earth benches or small stools [ROESDAHL 1992: cat.561]. <br>
==Stools and Benches==
These rudimentary seats would have been all that was available for most people in Regia’s period.
===Wooden 3 legged stool ===
Some have D-shaped holes in the centre of the seat that would have served as handholds for lifting the stools (Winchester, Dublin).
