The aristocratic families of the Roman era lived in domus, single floor urban residences with a series of delegation rooms (tablinum), domestic work rooms (alae) and bedrooms (cubicula) arranged around an atrium; a centralized interior courtyard equipped with a basin connected to an underground cistern for the collection of rainwater (impluvium). Behind the domus, space was reserved for small domestic gardens which, beginning in the III century B.C., with the expansion of Roman domination in the Mediterranean, were transformed into peristili, or columned courtyards, richly decorated with fruit trees and fountains with water amusements.
