Document Summary
Houses need not always follow this pattern. Many properties were altered and added to. Organization can be different based on the preferences of owners. Tablinum: office space of the pater familias. House of pansa takes up the entire city block. Region i. 10. 4, 14-16: takes up an entire square block. House name is from painting of menander in peristyle. Additions and alterations all over the house. House of menander, main entrance on vicolo del menandro: little road. House focused inward: there are few windows and no yards or porches in front. There is a part of the roman house that is considered more of a public space: the clients would come to see the patron in the morning. People who were loyal to the family: the atrium and the tablinum. There are two atria: they would have bought the house next to it and expanded, two different kinds of atria. There are columns in the atrium labelled 3.
