This is more than just a book about Roman houses. This book first describes Roman houses and decoration and then puts them into context by delving into the Roman house as a status object, as a hierarchical space, and as a place for both leisure and work. This book really captures the nature of the Roman by describing what they used their space for. The author compares the Roman home to more modern structures for understanding, but the basis of the book is not to compare and contrast the two. show more It’s definitely not the sort of book for someone who is looking for the basics, though. Sometimes, the way the houses are described seems more a mathematical equation than description of living/working space. show less
