Review of the domestic spaces, which has only rescently been systematically excavated. The 1st courtyard house w/firmly reconstructed floor plan dates to the 2nd c. Continued use of the prostas and pastas style houses until the 1st, drawing upon much earlier Classical models, even w/strong Roman influences. These types of houses are only found in the city of Philetairos; the city established by Eumenes II in the early 2nd BCE have all be huge peristyle houses (though only 5 have been excavated). She concludes that the houses of Pergamon fall into 3 types of rooms/room combinations: hall-like room w/additional smaller chambers; a 3 room froup that generally had 2 secondary rooms; and smaller, square-ish rooms connected w/neither the 3 room group nor the hall. Functions cannot be associated as finds are absent. The amount of rooms in the peristyle houses match those at Delos, even the same arrangement, though ones at Delos are larger.
