Roman Villas

By Smith, J. T.

0 - Default Title
Description
"Roman Villas" explores the social structures of the Roman world by analyzing the plans of buildings, from slightly Romanized farms to palaces. The ways in which the rooms are grouped together; how they intercommunicate; and the ways in which individual rooms and the house are approached, reveal various social patterns, which question traditional ideas about the Roman family and household. "Roman Villas" provides a meticulously documented and scholarly examination of the relationship between the living quarters of the Romans and their social and economic development which introduces a new area in Roman studies and a corpus of material for further analysis. The inclusion of almost 500 ground plans, drawn to a uniform scale, compares the similarities and differences between house structures as well as effectively illustrates the arguments.
