Roman Town House interior Grand town houses made their first appearance in the 2nd century AD when the native aristocracy of Britain adopted town life. This stimulated a school of mosaic art in the town that provided sumptuous floors for these new houses. The largest of these private houses were very substantial buildings with two storeys and central garden courtyards. Some of the town houses had central heating. Most of them had walls decorated with painted plaster. |
