POMPEII
consisted of a single series of apartments, — a central room,
atrium, with smaller rooms opening into it, and a garden at the
rear; an example is the house of the Surgeon (p. 274). A res-
toration of such a house with its high atrium, wide front door,
and garden is shown in Fig. 109.
Fig. 109. — Early Pompeian house, restored.
Later, under Greek influence, a court with a colonnade and
surrounding rooms was added. This was called peristyluim,
‘peristyle’; it is simply the more elaborate inner part of 1116
Greek house, adronitis, joined to the dwelling of Italic origin.
We find the union of atrium and peristyle with their respective
groups of apartments fully accomplished in the second century
b.c., the Tufa Period ; the type of dwelling thus developed re-
mained in vogue during Roman times and is often called the
Roman house.
