Actually no....you cannot use a secondary source as a reference on Wikipedia. If you look at the end of the article it states that it's reference is the Encyclopedia Britannica Online. I believe we can use that but not the other. Also the actual site the page comes from is not a reliable source. It's a psychic website.--Amadscientist (talk) 07:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting the article into sections[edit]

I like the idea, and if no one has any objection, it certainly would be easier to expand the article and keep it organised.--Amadscientist (talk) 03:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Domus[edit]

What is a french word with the root domus? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.118.198 (talk) 23:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficient info[edit]

If you're going to include a plan of a typical domus with each room labelled with its latin term, it would be nice if you actually include in the article the definition of each of those words. We shouldn't have to go to a separate article just to find out what, for example, a peristyle is. 175.38.232.80 (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One minor quib[edit]

"A Roman domus was limited in size because of the confines of the city walls."

It says so in the box on the right. But weren't domuses structured apart from each other in the suburbs? The description seems to have confused domuses with insula, apartment buildings. So domuses are more akin to townhouses? I'm sort of confused, could I be a little enlightened on that? Bored history geek (talk) 21:50, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The word ‘Roman’…[edit]

… is added in front of ‘kitchen’. Why? Were not all the other rooms Roman? 2001:8003:3020:1C00:E418:2098:60DF:6A6F (talk) 08:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
