A typical Roman house, known as a "domus," featured a central atrium that allowed light and air to enter, with rooms arranged around it. The walls were often adorned with frescoes and mosaics, while the floors were typically made of marble or colorful tiles. Wealthy Romans had additional spaces like a tablinum (study), peristyle (garden), and private baths, showcasing their status and lifestyle. Smaller homes, known as "insulae," were multi-story apartment buildings that housed the lower classes.
