The Roman Domus - The Houses Of The Wealthy Families

The domus was the house occupied by the upper classes and some wealthy freedmen during the Republican and Imperial eras. It could be found in almost all the major cities throughout the Roman territories. The English word domestic comes from Latin domesticus, which is derived from the word domus. Along with a domus in the city, many of the richest families of ancient Rome also owned a separate country house, the villa.
The domus included multiple rooms, indoor courtyards, gardens and beautifully painted walls. The entrance hall (vestibulum) led into a large central hall: the atrium. Leading off the Atrium were cubicula (bedrooms) a dining room, triclinium, a tablinum (living room or study) Culina (the Roman kitchen) and tabernae (shops on the outside).
Much of what is known about the Roman Domus comes from excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum. There are excavations of homes in the city of Rome but none of them retained the original integrity of the structures. The homes of Rome are mostly bare foundations. The most famous of the Roman domus is the Domus of Livia and Augustus. Little of the original architecture survives; only a single multi level section of the vast complex remains. Homes in Pompeii however were preserved intact exactly as they were when they were occupied by Roman people 2000 years ago.
