The Spread of the Roman Domus-Type in Gaul (Paperback)

This study examines the spread, both geographical and chronological, of domus -type buildings in Gaul, based primarily on a catalogue and analysis of floor plans. The domus-type is defined in the first instance from Vitruvius, and tow subdivisions based on features of atrium and peristyle are identified. Houses of these types are mapped, and comparisons for floor plans are drawn with the evidence from Pompeii.
