Roman villas

Roman villas were large country houses built by wealthy Romans, serving as both luxurious homes and productive agricultural estates. They were often situated in scenic locations and included impressive architecture, spacious rooms, gardens, and amenities like baths and fountains. Villas functioned as retreats and centers for farming activities, reflecting the social status and wealth of their owners. They varied from modest farmhouses to elaborate palaces, and many featured intricate mosaics and frescoes, showcasing Roman artistry. These estates played a key role in Roman rural life, blending comfort, leisure, and productivity.
