How many rooms were there in a roman house?

Answer 1

A roman villa had a vestibulum, which was the entrance hall. There was a square atrium (courtyard) which the most important part of the house; guests were greeted here. It was surrounded by high porticos with roofs which were slated inwards. Its large centre (compluvium) was not roofed so that it let the water in. Directly below there was the impluvium: a shallow rectangular sunken portion which collected the rainwater and drained it into an underground cistern. The cubiculum was the bedroom. The triclinium was the dining room. The culina was the kitchen. The tablinum was the studio of the head of the household. The peristylium was the garden.

Answer 2

The Roman house was generally a rather long rectangular building. Many of the urban houses had small outside rooms with no entrance to the house that were rented out as shops. Disregarding these, as they were optional, here is the standard layout of a Roman house: The vestibulum, which was the entrance hall, the atrium, which was the main room or the "great room" of the house, directly behind the atrium or even as a part of it was the teblinum, which was the main reception area of the house and directly behind it was the peristylium which was a colonnaded garden. Now all along the side of the house were mall rooms called cubiculum which could be used as bedrooms or for any other purpose. Also along the sides oft he atrium generally towards the rear of the house was the triclinium or dining room with the kitchen opposite it. Some houses had an excedra or a garden room and some had a second dining room in or right off the colonnaded garden.

Answer 3

It would depend on the size of the house. Roman houses, like our, came in all different sizes. In a free standing house there would be an atrium or central room, with several smaller rooms off to its side, opening on to the atrium. There was usually a separate dinning room and kitchen, but not always. If the house had a second story, this of course, would add to the number of rooms.
