The Suburban Villas of Campania and Their Social Function

Oxbow says: Through the study of literary and archaeological evidence, and more especially the statistical analysis of floor plans, Geoff Adams examines the social function of suburban villas in the Italian region of Campania. Focusing on evidence from Pompeii, Herculaneaum and Stabiae, he compares the use of space and social function of urban and suburban houses and looks at the allocation of space for entertaining guests and leisure activities in the suburban villas of Campania.
