The Mosaic Decoration of Peristylia in Roman Villae and Domus of Western Lusitania (Portugal). The Interrelationship Between Domestic Space Planning and The Chosen Peristyle Flooring

Abstract

Within the RoGeMoPorTur project, a specific approach was adopted to analyse the importance of the peristyle not only as a central element of communication and link between the different architectural components of the villa, but also as an expression of a vision very specific to its owner as a member of a Roman or Romanised elite: The peristyle, as the entrance to the villa from outside, was at the same time the first recipient of its cultural message and socio-economic power. This study aims at a typologisation of the spatial dialogue chosen by the landowner for the introduction to that message through the pavement decoration of the peristyle.
