Zakarya Khelif’s project, The Roman Domestic Architecture at Tipasa of Mauretania, will examine the ancient elite residence in Tipasa of Mauretania (the present-day city of Tipaza in western Algeria), its main characteristics, and its relationship to its environment. Khelif will focus on three primary examples: “la villa des fresque,” “la maison de lotis,” and “la maison de la mosaïque d’Achille,” tracing their social, economic, and cultural aspects, and how the villas changed over time. Taking an approach that brings together documentary sources and archaeological data, the project will determine the level of Romanization and the acceptance, by local elites, of architectural forms and social practices.
