The+Roman+House

The Roman House had many rooms and also had a garden in every house. A regular Roman house consisted of seven bedrooms, two dining rooms, two shops, two halls, two wings of the house with a kitchen, an office, and a colonnaded garden. The two most important parts to the regular Roman House was the Formal Entrance Hall and the colonnaded gardens.

The colonnaded garden was built inside the house and was made into a courtyard where plants and statues were place in the garden.
