Different types of atria in ancient Rome included:

  • the Tuscan atrium
    • had two pairs of beams that crossed each other at right angles
  • the atrium displuviatum
    • the roof tilted outwards so the water could collect in gutters on the outside; the impluvium would only collect water that fell directly in
  • the atrium tetrastylon
    • the beams at the corners of the compluvium were supported by four pillars
  • the testudinatum
    • an atrium that was completely roofed and had no compluvium; it is unknown how it was lit

What are the key features of a traditional Roman house plan?

A traditional Roman house plan typically includes a central courtyard called the atrium, surrounded by rooms such as the tablinum, triclinium, and cubicula. The atrium serves as the main gathering space, while the tablinum is a formal reception room and the triclinium is a dining area. Bedrooms, known as cubicula, are located around the atrium. Additionally, Roman houses often have a peristyle garden at the back of the house.


How do you describe a roman Atrium?

An atrium in the Roman empire is the same as an atrium is today. It was a relatively large main room of a house with an open ceiling and a pool below the opening to catch rain water. Today's atria are either in houses or in waiting rooms, but have the ceilings either wholly or partially glassed.An atrium in the Roman empire is the same as an atrium is today.
