FUMA'RIUM. The smoke-room; a chamber in the upper part of a house in which the smoke from the kitchen fires, or from the furnaces of the bath-rooms, was allowed to collect itself before finding a vent into the air; and which was also used as a storeroom for ripening wine (Mart. x. 36. Compare Hor. Od. iii. 8. 11.); and for drying the moisture out of wood, in order to make it fit for fuel. Columell. i. 6. 19.
