This study examines the architecture and decor of selected late Roman villas in the province of Hispania, covering the region of modern Spain and Portugal, with reference to the wider social world of late antiquity. As the most fundamental point of interface between the individual and the wider society, the Roman house is treated as both a product and a source of transformation in this critical period in European history. The material evidence from the domestic settings is placed in the context of late Imperial cultural phenomena including shifting notions of privacy and the body, a hierarchical social organization, the rise of Christianity, and a predominance of theatricality and spectacle. Methodologically, this study differs from previous considerations of late Roman domestic architecture in Spain in its analysis of the structures in conjunction with ensembles of decoration. Observations on mosaics, sculpture and other decor in the villas provide new insights on the communicative power of these art forms when combined with carefully orchestrated interior environments. While focusing on Spain, this study also takes a comparative approach, in order to locate areas of continuity and innovation in relation other regions in the Empire. In confirming a general picture of a shared architectural and decorative language, the analysis leads to the discovery of unique contributions on the part of Spanish designers. In the widest sense, this dissertation adds to the sum of knowledge concerning the period of late antiquity, an era which has only relatively recently been the subject of intensive research, and about which many questions remain unanswered.
