Roman Domestic Buildings aims to provide an architectural picture of Roman society by looking at domestic buildings, from the hovels of peasants to the palaces of monarchs. The book brings out the political, social and economic significance of the buildings, as well as the technical architectural features. E. J. Owens, author of The City in the Greek and Roman World, contributes a chapter on the planning of residential areas, and A. J. Brothers writes on houses in towns. Houses in the country are dealt with by John Percival, author of The Roman Villa, and there is a chapter on palaces by the editor. Chapters on gardens, by Nicholas Purcell, and on military accommodation, by David Davidson, complete the work. The book is fully illustrated with plans and photographs; there is a glossary of architectural terms, an index of sites with reference maps, and suggestions for further reading. Roman Domestic Buildings is a companion volume to Ian Barton's Roman Public Buildings, also published in the Exeter Studies in History series.
