DOMUS

It not- was found in almost all the major cities throughout the Roman let-territories. The modern English word domestic comes from Latin domesticus, which is derived from the word domus. Along she- with a domus in the city, many of the richest families of ancient Rome also owned a separate country house known as a but-villa. Many chose to live primarily, or even exclusively, in their villas; these homes were generally much grander in scale and on larger acres of land due to more space outside the walled and fortified city.
