in the richest homes of northern Europe you would call it the winter garden, or the inner courtyard... though in warm Italy these houses would be open plan, further north, say into Gaul or Britannia the atrium would be connected to the other rooms via thick wooden doors and intricate glass windows. just think of it as an enclosed garden rather than a room...
It is so cool that with only Portuguese my native language I can pick more then half of this words right away just because the written is very similar and the meaning is the same... really makes you feel that Rome is still alive through you...
Thank you for this, it's refreshing to have an informative video without having to sit through hours of documentary, I also appreciate the clear pronunciation you provide. ♥
This is helpful. I've been looking into the domus and other Roman construction, as I plan on building my own home and I want it to be heavily influenced by ancient Roman (and Greek) architecture, with some modern accoutrements, of course.
I'm Polish and we have a lot of Latin names preserved in our language. Dom is Polish for a house, biblioteka is a library, solarium is a tanning salon and some others. We often have an atrium in public buildings etc;)
Those aren't necessarily Latin words, but indo-european words. Latin, Greek, German, English etc. all developed from the proto-indo-european language, along with a massive amount f other languages spoken in Europe, the middle east and India. There are many Indian languages that have shared words with Lithuanian for example, because the same words from the original language were preserved in both places.
@@Torsteen-p3d That's true. You can easily see it in numbers. Polish and Kurd or Sanskrit share incredible similarities (and not ony those). But we have to take into account influences of certain languages, like Litin for examle. In Poland Latin left many traces in sophisticated language (like in English). But maybe the word domestic in English is another trace of proto...
House/home is "dom" in Polish. Didn't know it was derived from Latin. Also Latin word for library is still used here (Bibliotheca --> Biblioteka). Cool.
It's probably an IndoEuropean root because it's dom in Russian as well. You can see a cognate in German with Haus (Domus) Languages are fun that way. Also, the word for poop seems to go across all the indoeuropean languages. Bibliotheka is Greek on the other hand.
Actually polish 'dom' is from slavic origin and sounds same in other slavic languages (russian дом). You may read about it here pl.wikisource.org/wiki/S%C5%82ownik_etymologiczny_j%C4%99zyka_polskiego/Dom
I can't actually read it, I'm Russian. But remember, before slavic and germanic and romance languages there was Proto Indo European whic is the ancestor language of almost all European and Indian languages. "domus "house" (from PIE root *dem- "house, household") + colere "to dwell" The PIE dem most likely morphed differently in diffferent areas. Here is the PIE that it's traced back to: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/d%E1%B9%93m
Aye, you guys are right, it makes sense for it to not necessarily be of Latin origin after all. It's always worth it to zoom out further and see the bigger picture. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/domus It seems the word did originate in Proto-Indo-European. Cool. "Przestań z tym mitem", jak gdybym celowo propagował dezinformację od lat ;p
Ave Metatron! The decorations are just lovely! I'd love an in-depth look at the artistry of Roman interior decore, especially mosaics and frescoes. Incredible content as always!
Catch_Me_If_You_Can It's a reference to a Monty Python movie, _Life of Brian_, set in Jerusalem circa 33 CE. I won't spoil it - search "Romanes eunt domus" on RUclips. Or, better yet, by the movie. It's well worth it.
Did Rome have restaurants? Like full blown come sit down and pay us for food buildings. I can imagine they had bread shops and meat shops and cheese shops. But did they have restaurants? I wonder if it was legal to have a street vendor selling sweets and finger food.
They did, apparently a Thermopolium resembled a fast food restaurant. It would be great to see a video about other kinds of eateries and public houses in the ancient world.
Pretty much every advanced culture had a place like that, so I'd be surprised if they didn't. Also, places where people gather to eat and/or get drunk are pretty much always very social and roman citizens certainly loved socializing. I mean, if they managed to make bathing social, it'd be weird if they didn't make eating social.
As far as i know they mostly had some kind of Fast-food shops or normal Taverns for trinking and eating (equivivalent to a lower standard meal)

What I love about being Hispanic American or Latino, is the cultural background of our language, which together with the Portuguese, French, Italians and Romanian, unites us with our glorious Roman past, which makes it very enjoyable to listen and easily understand many of the Latin words that you say when talking about the Roman Domus. On the other hand, as an architect, it is easy to recognize the influence that this type of construction has on the architecture of all Mediterranean countries; Also, thanks to your descriptions, I am glad to know the usefulness of each of the rooms and spaces that made up these Roman houses, which must have been a sight to behold.
I'm on a several-days long binge, watching Your old videos I haven't watched yet, and it was really nice to hear one of my favorite songs by Eurielle in Your video :D
have to say thank you. after watching your tour, i finaly made some of the best roman high status homes in years in my roman themed sims1 neighbourhood. usualy i used to just build them around the edges, bigish rooms (because sims have routing/walking issues lol) but now, these ones actualy look good to me and i am much satisfied to their looks. thank you, again.. i better check your homes of the poorer romans now. knowing me i have been giving them too much space too >.< ^.^
metatron you're an inspirational man destined for greatness, my love for all things ancient came from your videos. love popping on a video and watching it will drawing or any other daily activity!
A tiny correction: The term insula was originally just used for a city block, an area surrounded by streets. It also came to signify huge apartment buildings because they would take up whole city blocks but there were many other insulae where that was not the case. Some insulae even consisted of just one very big domus, though it might have some tabernae fronting the street.
As someone who has briefly studied roman history but tended to focus on a little later (post 400 AD) I have always loved your videos and continue to learn tons from them, but I'd love if you could include a sources/further reading section in your descriptions so those with interest could continue our own research.
Are you a tour guide by any chance? I'd kill for the opportunity for you to show me around Rome. Just sayin'. It's not like I can make it to Italy any time soon. :(
We have some of these words used in Russian language: 'vestibulus' we say 'vestibul' and is used to describe the entrance room of the building, but what's interesting - we don't use it to describe the entrance room of a living house, but only of an entrance room of any public place; also 'culina' we use as a root for a word 'culinariya' which means 'the art of cooking'; balneum, i think, could be a predecessor of our word 'bania' which means 'a bathhouse', 'biblioteka' we use without any change in the pronunciation and meaning.
i guess there is no european languag without some latin based words, at least not in western europe. the east either adapted them by having contact with the west for centuries or, in case of russia, they were introduced by northmen/vikings , the "rus", were russia also has it´s name from.
i really enjoyed your videos, i am taking roman history class. i do a lot of confusions but you explained all these things so well.!!!!!!!Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant video as always. I really love the Roman episodes you do. Informative and good to watch. More about Roman buildings and construction please Metatron. More about all things Roman really. 😋 thank you
Metatron, if you're ever in the UK you should come visit Chester, you'd have a ball. Plenty of Roman digs, an amphitheatre and a vast history of Roman influence.
They are estiticians, its true they had alot of talented scientists but that dosent mean in any way could trace genetic matirial perfectly trougout time.
germanvisitor2 actually, no. He was an observant Jew of his time, even if he tried to modernise his religion. The are sections in the New Testament where he explicitly goes against the comkon dogma, but all his work and preaching is deeply rooted in Hebrew tradition. Even a lot of modern Western traditions are taken verbatim from the old testament, meaning that they are from the Hebrew tradition.
I was wandering Metatron, do we know anything about roman music, not gust the instruments, but how they played them, what kinds of tempos and harmonies did they favor? do you think there is enough for you to make a video about it?
So the backyard you mention at the end, "hortus"? Is that a garden/kitchen garden? In Catalan we have the word "hort", and in Spanish, "huerto". It's a small, domestic terrain were vegetables are cultivated.
Unrelated to the video topic, a music question for you: One of my favorite trumpet players, Doc Severinsen, has a song called Silicano, you can find here on youtube with a search - does it remind you in any way of any part of Sicily? Does more conventional Siciliano music remind you of Sicily?
I've lived in northeast Brazil and if the climate it warm, the domus format is a life saver. Also, think about how family based this design is. The old folks had it made living around family that's always passing through the peristylium
An amazing video! Very inspiring, for home planning and even for fantasy writing :) . Maybe some day you could find a reconstructed domus in which you could film, and do a mini documentary on location! I love these sorts of videos and documentaries that invoke wonder and curiosity, unlike some documentaries that try to dramaticise, comercialise, epicise, everything to make it like the film '300' . Your approach to Roman history reminds me a bit of Mary Beard and her series 'meet the Romans' she also ignited this sort of love for ancient Rome in me. People who are genuinely passionate about the subject make the most engaging videos.
Small criticism about the editing: please show the images a bit longer. As it is, when you show any images, they're only on screen for a couple of seconds, and I find it more interesting to look at a relevant image rather than you talking, no offence. I also tend to focus more exclusively on the image if I know it's only there very briefly, and not listen to what you say at all. If I know I have plenty of time to look at it, it's easier to relax a little and look at it while I listen.
Does the thumbnail come from a book about ancient Rome? It caught my attention cause it reminds me of a picture from a book we had at home when I was a little kid, haven't seen it in 25 years
On the 2 sides of the vestibulum there were 2 rooms. If the owner were a merchant they were shops with counters that showed to the street. Here in the south of France many houses are structured just like that, including ours. Peristile appeared only later, earlier Roman houses didn’t have them.
Hello, Metatron. Great informative video as always. I wonder what is the best way to contact you? Cause RUclips message/commentary system doesn't seem like the most reliable option.
As a Northern European the fact that Southern Europeans put big holes in their roof continues to amaze me.
Heat is a thing here, haha
No windows would stop their slaves from escaping
in the richest homes of northern Europe you would call it the winter garden, or the inner courtyard...
though in warm Italy these houses would be open plan, further north, say into Gaul or Britannia the atrium would be connected to the other rooms via thick wooden doors and intricate glass windows.
just think of it as an enclosed garden rather than a room...
El Stupido. ..

I'm an architecture University student and one of my goals is to build myself a roman house.
@Rich 91 mgtow have superated their desire for sex
I would like to live in a domus as well. But I don't know if I could or if it would be good for modern times or America.
@Rich 91 wtf are you on about you silly piece of shit?
Me too

I really want to thank you for your highly educational videos on ancient Roman civilization. Well done.
It is so cool that with only Portuguese my native language I can pick more then half of this words right away just because the written is very similar and the meaning is the same... really makes you feel that Rome is still alive through you...
Thank you for this, it's refreshing to have an informative video without having to sit through hours of documentary, I also appreciate the clear pronunciation you provide. ♥
Interesting roots for spanish words:
Cocina (kitchen)
Huerto (plant garden)
Vestíbulo (lobby)
Fauces (animal mouth)
Isla (island, from ínsula)
Piscina (pool)
Cena (dinner)
Atrio
Balneario (bathing beach)
Xavieros Falsename Vestíbulo, Piscina and Balneario are in Portuguese too xD
They are in romanian too: vestibul,piscină and balneară :)
There is a reason to why they are called "Romance lenguages"
Culina not cocina
Ah, sorry, you were talking about spanish. My bad.
This is a sample of a very noble passion. The host is carried away by his admiration for Roman greatness.
This is helpful. I've been looking into the domus and other Roman construction, as I plan on building my own home and I want it to be heavily influenced by ancient Roman (and Greek) architecture, with some modern accoutrements, of course.

Incredible content as always!
Finally! A great video about a Roman domus. Thank you so much, Metatron.
ROMANES EVNT DOMVS
(I couldn't resist.)
Excellent video. Roman history is far and away my favorite topic on this channel, which is saying quite a lot.
Java Monkey people called romans they go the house?
Dammit! I wanted to say that!
ROMANI ITE DOMUM. Now write it out 100 times.

There were vendors selling food for consumption all over Rome, but if you mean a sit down restaurant with servants? Hmm, good question.
They did, apparently a Thermopolium resembled a fast food restaurant. It would be great to see a video about other kinds of eateries and public houses in the ancient world.

Je n'ai jamais écouté un seul vidéo que tu as produit qui n'était pas intéressant Metatron. Une fois encore, BRAVO!

Good info, but would have liked to have seen many more examples of what you were talking about and fewer closeups of you.
Fantastic presenter, ingenious pronounce of greek and latin, I am amazed by the channel-history lover from Helm.
You're just getting better and better :D Keep it up man!
Introducing a physical space is better done through visualization, instead of a focus on the speaker. It would better retain interest of the audience.
Can we see some more Greek Videos? I feel Rome has got all the attention. Some really in-depth videos on greek history would be great.
Great video again Metatron!
Brilliant video as always. I really love the Roman episodes you do. Informative and good to watch. More about Roman buildings and construction please Metatron. More about all things Roman really. 😋 thank you

Thanks For sharing enjoyed

This sounds so beautiful. Would you make one about public baths someday?
i like how you spinned it into a neat story. thank you for the video!
did the streets have names and the houses numbers and did they have mailboxes?
really loved this video
I love your videos. Also, as a Romanian, I have an easier time understanding the latin words, since they are so similar to my language.

Does Triclinium come from;
Τρι : Three
Κλινιος: Laying down, bed
Would I be correct in saying "Triclinium" means "the three bed chamber'?

5 stars to this video. I loved it. Also it's realy cool for me beeing Portuguese and seeing so many similar words in Latin
Wouldnt the area with the hole in the ceiling flood in heavy rain? Was their drainage?
Maybe that's why they called it comPLUVIUM?
How would Romans have central heating for baths? Where would the heat source come from?
