What do roman houses compare to today's houses?

Answer 1

The wealthy Roman villa was nice and some houses today are built along the same building style. They were built in the shape of a square with a garden and fountain in the middle. When first entering a Roman house the visitors are in an anteroom that has murals painted on the walls. This was the public space. They would be facing the center gardens and on either side there would be long columned walkways with doors to rooms. There was art, plants, mosaics on the floors, and other decorations. In Nero’s palace he had gems in the ceilings so they reflected light and twinkled. I have been in several of these houses and would live in one without any hesitation. If you are on the west coast and in California the J Paul Getty Ancient art museum is a exact copy of a Roman house from Pompeii. I saw it in Pompeii and recognized it.
