Roman Housing
Roman Housing describes domestic architecture throughout the Roman empire, from Britain to Egypt, from the origins of empire to the sixth century AD. During this period an empire-wide aristocratic culture was formed, and Simon Ellis marks the stages in Roman expansion and examines the extent of Roman influence on the domestic life of all the citizens of empire, culminating with the decline and disappearance of the Roman house at the end of the period.

Illustrated with over 50 photographs and line drawings, and provided with a glossary and site index, is the first book for 20 years to examine housing in the Roman world. This breadth of scale enables the author to set local developments within the overall context of social change in the empire, making the book of value to all with an interest in the culture and history of Rome.
