Η ∆ήλος και το κανονιστικό σχέδιο της ετρουσκικής-ρωµαϊκής κατοικίας

Abstract

The rigorously standardized canonical plan of the Etruscan-Roman domus, attested in most of Italy, mainly from the 6th to the 1st century BC, had very limited success outside the peninsula, where strong indigenous traditions, Greek or Punic, seem to have hindered its development. The case of Delos is of particular interest in this respect, given the importance of the Italic component of its population. The study of the dwelling houses on the site, here considered according to a strictly planimetric approach, shows, however, despite some convergences, that the canonical plan was never really adopted by the local elites; buildings that come closest to it are currently interpreted as commercial buildings. On the other hand, the "House of Fourni" is very similar to the villae built at the same time in Italy, in particular the Villa of Diomedes in Pompeii.
