Explores the social structures of the Roman world by analyzing the
plans of buildings of all sizes from slightly Romanized farms to
palaces. The text assesses how 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. The text argues that virtually all houses
were occupied by groups of varying composition, challenging the
received wisdom that they were single family houses whose size
reflected only the owner's wealth and number of servants. Provides
an 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, allows the reader to compare the similarities
and differences between house structure as well as illustrating the
arguments.
