POMPEII & HERCULANEUM Houses of the Rich and Poor the “domus as a microcosm of the public world of business, politics and civic duty” Zarmati
Andrew Wallace Hadrill Houses of Pompeii & Herculaneum • Based on Wallace Hadrill’s classification, Houses can be divided into 4 groups: • Shops & workshops with 1 or 2 roomed residences behind or above • Larger workshop residences of 2 -7 rooms, some with an atrium & even richly decorated • Average house: 8 -13 rooms, most with an integrated workshop or shop, symmetrical plan & common architectural features eg atrium & gardens • Largest houses ( villa urbana) designed for hospitality & large-scale admission of visitors, separate space for slaves; 2 atria; ornamental gardens, peristyles; decorated • Villa Rustica
Social Orientation in a Roman House Grand Amici Paterfamilias Public Private Clientale Servi Humble
Features of the Domus • Houses represent 1/3 of all buildings in Pompeii. Windows looked inward • Key feature in design for the elite is the long axis running from street entry to the garden. The axis ties the fauces, atrium, tablinum and peristyle areas where vision was often framed by the placement of columns, usually Ionic or Corinthian. These were the more publically visible areas ( salutatio ). According to Cicero in his De Officiis, a man of rank needed housing to fit his social standing • To the side were the more private leisure areas of Tricliniums and Cubiculums, although client access was sometimes acceptable. Wallace Hadrill states “Romans lacked our distinction of place of work from place of leisure. ” ( OTIUM/NEGOTUM) • The most private areas, unseen and undecorated were the slave quarters and kitchen areas, located towards the back or side of houses.

House/Workshop of Veracundus /felt maker • HOUSE AND WORKSHOP OF VERECUNDUS (ins. 7, no. 7 -5) This complex is of the greatest interest in that it provides an example of a typical workshop belonging to the sellers and dyers of cloth, an activity which in Pompeii was particularly well developed and so renowned that a building in the Forum square was dedicated to them, the Building of Eumachia. • Precious paintings embellish the workshop and depict the activity carried out there and the protector gods. Note in particular: "Mercury with a moneybag", "Venus on a carriage", "The cloth sellers" and "The weaving of cloth". They are all depicted with great immediacy.

House of the Vestals Water as Status The use of water in Roman private houses has been identified as a highly visible status symbol. The detailed study of the House of the Vestals at Pompeii reveals how water features were central to the house’s structural changes from the late first century B. C. The owners of the house invested heavily in fountains and pools as key elements in the display of their wealth to visitors and passers-by alike
House of Loreius Tibertinus
Illusion and Allusion The garden and house of Loreius Tibertinus were joined through the use of an irrigation channel that ran from an open terrace, or peristyle, through the entire length of the garden. The water channel bisected the garden and was framed by flowering shrubs and trees. A fountain and pergola mark the mid point of the canal. At the north end of the garden was an outdoor dining area complete with wall paintings and furnishings for dining

House Contents • Evidence for Cloth production: loom weights, spindles needles in Casa De Princeps de Napoli; 50 loom weights were needed for 2 rooms and as spinning was a Roman activity this cannot be evidence for commercial use. Looms were not found in service areas ~ Penelope Alison • Consumption of food: popular images of food in still life paintings; braziers were found in Casa del Menandro, used for cooking, heating, warming; red slip pottery largest and smallest sizes used for cooking; size 4 bowls showed olive, fig and plum residue ~ Penelope Alison • Toilet and Medical items: spatulums, probes, cosmetic containers, strigils, tweezers (>10 cm=forceps function; <10 cm=domestic use); not all medical items indicate doctors: “this is one example of how we bring our own personal bias of interpretation to the study of Pompeian households. ”~Penelope Alison
