Ancient Rome: Life in an Ancient Roman Domus

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me ears.
Today we look at how the people of ancient Rome lived.. and its probably not how you expect. Spoiler alert... no lived in small versions of temples.
Find me on Sims 4 Gallery where I will post a playable version of this build. Until then, like and subscribe and I'll see you next week!

Domus - Single family homes that may contain multiple generations
Insulae - Apartment buildings, where most Romans lived
Hypocaust -
Atrium - Center of the home off which were nearly all rooms, where guests were greeted
Compluvium - Opening in the roof of the atrium
Impluvium - Center pool of the atrium
Cubiculum - Sleeping Room
Triclinium - Dining Room

Pater Familias or Paterfamilias - literally the father of the family, the Patriarch

Very nice! I loved the history, and the build. Thank you very much for making this!

wonderful domus! the only thing i missed was the peristyle fountain, but again there might be similar but not two identical domus, i've always liked to make such houses in the sims and it always seemed that maxis was pretty much into such ideas too.

Hey, just wanted to comment that I've just found (and subscribed to) your channel and I love this concept, it's great stuff! I'm a natural scientist myself, I play sims to relax and I have become more and more interested in architecture partly because of building with sims myself. So I really appreciate this educational way of simming, thank you! One suggestion I have: if you could write in the descriptions or include it in the video itself: some of the key words used. I'm not a native speaker myself so I couldn't quite get some of the words and it would help me google if I knew the spelling.. something starting "ins-", sounds kind of like "in-su-leigh" or so, mentioned alongside the word "domus" during the first two minutes. I would greatly appreciate adding some of the words in written to help us non-native speakers! Anyways, thank you for creating this content, I look forward to your future videos!

Hey, I specifically studied Roman architecture and homes in Pompeii, and I can vouch that you absolutely killed this build. I love this much. This build is spot on. Thank you so much for this amazing build, keep up the great historical builds!!!

I love this! I have great interest in Roman Domus and villas and it’s cool to see through the architecture of sims.

I really enjoy these videos, thank you! I've not played Sims for several years now (I really liked the big open sand box style of TS3, and kinda fell out of love with TS4), but my favourite part was spending hours building homes or commercial lots.
Will try to catch up to your most recent videos.

This is a fascinating idea. Very well done.

This build is amazing! I've always been interested in ancient Greek & ancient Egyptian history. Now I'm planning my own ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian world save file for my Sims game. Will this build be on the gallery?

There needs to be a modern adaptation of this. I would love to live in enlarged version of this with a basement and a attic of course.
