The owner anyways was a rich person: Polybius was a freed slave who worked for the emperor Claudius before his reign in literary, judicial, and historical interests, and during Claudius's reign worked as a bureaucrat of sorts under the title of studiis, Latin for study. Due to the earthquakes proceeding the volcano by several years, the Domus was under renovation up to the point of the eruption. Some rooms appear to have been converted into a shop of sorts, it appears to have been occupied by at least 6 adults (3 men and 3 women) 5 children and an 8 month old fetus at least those are the skeletal remains found; their deaths were caused by asphyxiation caused by the pyroclastic flows. The domus may have been rented out to a group of families, or related families to the famous Polybius who probably owned the property. Basically it was a wealthy person's domus that suffered damage during the earthquakes well before the eruption. It was being renovated, and parts of the renovation look to have been made to convert part of the rooms into workshops as to indicate at the very least subletting parts of the Domus; many "wealthy" or "affluent" Romans would do this with their Domus to collect extra income on top of their other business owner ships and trade: turning their palaces into a kind of apartment commercial industrial work complex: a combined shop and palace like estate the size that a couple families could tenant as residence as well as hold their occupational workshops and even vending retail spaces. At the time of the eruption less wealthier people appear to be occupying the residence than the possible owner Polybius, the link to Polybius is due to a seal found in the garden of C. Julius Polybius; indicating they were possibly freed people who once belonged to Polybius; now renting from Polybius or some other owner of the estate. www.romanoimpero.com/2018/09/domus-di-giulio-polibio-pompei.html

@@jmitterii2 Thanks so much for the information!

if you owned a domus, you were rich by definition. It would be like owning a single family home on Long Island or in Zurich or something.

Это и было так приятно богатым, но рабом судьба в Римской империи не совсем нравилась. Но Везувий не чинил отличия, его взрыв убивает ли пана, либо раба.
