4. This is the stable. As well as finding horses there you might find a donkey, a camel or even a chariot! Normally villas have a pool in the courtyard. It would be partly surrounded by shady palms. This was the best way to keep cool in the burning midday sun. Cooking would be done on the roof so as not to make the house hot, stuffy and smoky. On all houses the walls were painted white, however, because they were built out of bricks made of mud and straw it came out cream with golden-brown splodges, a bit like the ones you would find on damp wallpaper. The roofs were flat on all houses: this is because they didn’t need to be sloped as it hardly ever rained.
