Dreaming of the Past: A Glimpse into Greece, Rome, and the Year 1000

Some houses are one story while others are two (Johnson 24). My home, in particular, is two stories high. Our roof is made with tile, although some others are made of leaves and mud (Dinsmoor 6). My husband and I spend a lot of...
