In Roman architecture and society, a large private house of a wealthy family; the household and family unit.
Latin 'domus' meaning house, home, or household. The term is fundamental to understanding Roman domestic life and social structure.
A Roman domus was far more than just a building—it represented a family's legal identity, social status, and power; the phrase 'pater familias' (father of the house) literally meant he owned the domus and everyone in it.
