Roman Houses

Roman houses, often stark and close to the street, initially welcomed visitors through a narrow hallway called the vestibulum, reminiscent of a throat. This area was richly adorned with artworks illustrating themes of welcome, along with cautionary figures like guard dogs. Key rooms within the house include the atrium (the central hall), cubiculum (bedroom), tablinum (study), and triclinium (dining room). Each space served distinct functions, reflecting the daily life and culture of ancient Rome, blending practicality with decorative artistry.
