Marcus Licinius House (cut-away)

 
Posted by Picasa


Consul Quintillianus;

This is a cut-away of the house. The cut-away line passes through the dining room and a storeroom on the ground floor and a bedroom and a storeroom or sitting room on the second floor. In my "townhouse" design I piped the water from the cistern to a well in the back part of the house, where the slaves could draw water without "cluttering" up the Atrium. I have seen these houses constructed very like this arrangement when I lived in Spain, and if the climate is favorable they are a great relief from the heat of the day.

Respectfully;

Marcus Audens
