Fores et Fenestrae aims to analyse Roman doors and windows and
their role as an essential part of daily life. They are the
structures that connect not only rooms but also houses themselves
to the outside world. They relate to privacy, security, and light
in domestic spaces. Until very recently, the role of doors and
windows in shaping the life and structure of Roman private
dwellings has been greatly underestimated. The reason for this lies
primarily in the difficulties linked to their study. The low level
of preservation of walls and the widespread use of perishable and
recyclable materials hinder in many cases a correct assessment of
these structures. To achieve greater understanding, the author
followed a computational approach. The two cores of the research
are the analysis of the database and the observation of results
based on new 3D models. 1855 doors and windows were surveyed across
eight towns of Roman imperial Italy. The information collected has
been organised in a database comprised of nine tables and mined
through statistical analyses. Three 3D models of different dwelling
types have been generated simulating natural materials and light
conditions to observe the role of doors and windows in context. The
work is subdivided into three sections. The first explains the
study's methodology and analyses previous scholarship on the topic,
highlighting how the issue of doors and windows has often be
ignored or only superficially considered. The second section
collects typologies of complementary sources to better comprehend
the results of the statistical analyses and to integrate the 3D
models; literary, epigraphic, and visual sources are considered. To
these are added the analysis of the archaeological sources. The
third part constitutes the core of the analysis. It is composed of
two chapters, the fi rst of which provides a detailed overview of
the statistical analyses produced from the sample collected. The
latter chapter investigates the results of the renders and analyses
views and natural light in the Roman house.
