Text Appearing Before Image: Diaeta is also thename given by Plimr (Ep. vi. 5) to rooms contain-ing three or four bed-chambers (cubicula). Plea-sure-houses or summer-houses are also called di-aetae. (Dig. 30. tit. 1. s. 43 ; 7. tit. 1. s. 13.§8.) 11. Solaria, properly places for basking inthe sun, were terraces on the tops of houses.(Plaut. Mil. ii. 3. 69, ii. 4. 25 ; Suet. Ner. 16.)In the time of Seneca the Romans formed artificialgardens on the tops of their houses, which con-tained even fruit-trees and fish-ponds. (Sen. Ep.122, Contr. Exc. v. 5 ; Suet. Claud. 10.) The two woodcuts annexed represent two atriaof houses at Pompeii. The first is the atrium ofwhat is usually called the house of the Quaestor.The view is taken near the entrance-hall facing thetablinum, through which the columns of the peri-style and the garden are seen. This atrium, whichis a specimen of what Vitruvius calls the Corin-thian, is surrounded by various rooms, and isbeautifully painted with arabesque designs uponred and yellow grounds. Text Appearing After Image: The next woodcut represents the atrium ofwhat is usually called the house of Ceres. In thecentre is the impluvium, and the passage at thefurther end is the ostium or entrance-hall. Asthere are no pillars around the impluvium, thisatrium must belong to the kind called by Vitruviusthe Tuscan.
