Roman Villa #1

This blog is to follow my efforts to build a Roman Villa.  Senator Quintillianus (NovaRoma) has most graciously and generously offered the plot of land next to him on Palatine Hill.  In response to that offer I am working toward building a model of a "Rustic" Villa in the country, while I gather information in regard to the design of a "Town" Villa on the offered property.

Master Regulas, in his wishing me well on living in the city of Rome, has given me the idea to add the story of my life in Nova Roma.  Obviously, I must have a source of income if I am to build two villas, and so I will in addition to a running description of the building process be talking about my current life in the Roman world.

Tonight my wife has taken a photo of the ground plan of the Rustic villa together with the four basic interior walls of the structure.  When that photo is entered onto the Internet, I will be pleased toad it to this blog.  I also intend to include my first two postings on the NewRoman List about this project.

Pleas keep in mind that I am new to this whole idea of blogging so if anyone sees anything by which I can improve the blog I should be glad to hear it.

Respectfully;

Marcus Audens
