Roman Houses Homes were often made of brick with red tile roofs, with rooms arranged around a courtyard The windows and balconies faced the courtyard to keep homes safe from burglars There were painting on the walls and mosaics on the floor

Inside of The Homes There was very little furniture, and no carpeting Wealthy Romans might have a house with a front door, bedrooms, an office, a kitchen, a dining room, a garden, a temple, an atrium, a toilet, and a private bath
