Are there any Roman Villas that aren’t ‘enormous’?..............
There’s a home in Pompeii, hmm, maybe Herculaneum...
Ah, Herc. The House of the Grand Portal — some up-and-comer bought the peristyle section of the neighboring house, built a huge entrance where an alley had been, to make the place look like the grandest home on the block. There’s a corridor that leads back to the former peristyle.
