Latin: Vocabulary: Latin House/ Domus Quiz

The model Roman house was called a domus. Not everyone lived in them. These were reserved for elite families. With the eruption of the Vesuvius volcano, many survived and were able to be documented by historians and archaeologists. The houses of slaves and lower class Romans were often made out of precarious materials, which have hindered the possibility to know much about them.

Domus rōmānī archetypa fuit patres maiorum gentium, cōnservāta essent Vesuviō ēruptiōne. Servōrum domūs nescītus sunt peritūrīs māteriīs.
