The Roman Domus was the house model occupied by the wealthiest of Roman society. It was built with many smaller rooms adjoining two large main rooms: the atrium and the peristylium. The building was entered through a main hallway known as the vestibulum and smaller hallways known as Fauces. Water was managed very cleverly by allowing rainwater to drain into pools (impluvium) in the middle of the large rooms which drained out under the house into cisterns.
