[43] opulenta recessit regia: the guest standing at the door looks through an imposing vista of room succeeding room; cf. on the word Verg. A. 2.300 “Anchisae domus arboribus obtecta recessit” ; Plin. Ep. 2.17.21 “contra parietem medium zotheca recedit” ; and with the idea, the description of the first series of rooms in Pliny's villa (Ep. 2.17.5).
