  5. What do I see first?

  6. The atrium-tablinum-peristylium axis creates a good first impression on a visitor to the domus. Can you tell what rooms these are?

  7. Coming in through the fauces, you open the ianua • and see the grand atrium, with its columns and impluvium;

  8. Through the tablinum, you can see the many columns and green plants of the peristylium.

  9. Behind the pool, curtains or sliding doors • open onto the tablinum • with the paterfamilias’ work table or reading couch

  10. Thus, the house’s MOST IMPRESSIVE rooms are all visible from the moment you enter. J. Paul Getty Villa Malibu, CA
