Abstract	In certain areas the corridor house appeared at villa estates as early as, or earlier than, in the towns. In Britain villa planning influenced town-house planning in a manner not generally found on the Continent. Villa dwellings exhibit a far higher degree of Romanisation than their urban counterparts until about the mid-2nd cent.

Abstract	The term familia usually applies to agnatic kinsmen. Domus was used to mean the physical house, the household including family and slaves, the broad kinship group including agnates and cognates, ancestors and descendants, and the patrimony. The Roman elite moved from an emphasis on the agnatic familia to a stress on the wider kinship group encompassed by the domus.

Date of Publication	1988
Location of Article	43-97
;Modern Language	English
Abstract	Marked patterns exist which distinguish the Roman house of the late republic and early empire from the houses of other societies (notably Greek) and of other times. The dominant factor in determining these patterns is the interpenetration of the public and private life of the Roman ruling class. Implicit in the architectural forms and decoration of the Roman house is a language or code, which draws constantly on allusions to public and non-domestic forms.
