Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If you were richer, you would live in larger single homes called domus. These usually had many rooms off an atrium which was a room in the centre of the house with an open roof. Poor Romans who lived in the countryside would live in shacks or cottages while rich Romans would live in large, sprawling villas.
