The Roman House

Rich Romans and Roman Britons lives in the towns, in fine house-

villas, which were  built  in Roman  the style. There were bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet with sewer, a sitting room in the house with central heating system.

Hot air from a fire in the cellar passed  under the floor and up the walls  to heat  the  house. This central heating system was called hypocaust.



The floor were covered with mosaics - pictures or patterns made from tiny pieces of coloured marble stuck in cement.Walls were decorated with paintings or painted panels.
