Dormus

Please ignore the spelling error in the title.
It is a Domus, not a Dormus.
My next project, just started this morning.
A Domus was the house of a Roman Merchant, with a shop or two out the front and a well protected living area behind. There was a lot of crime back in ancient Rome.
They were poorly lit and ventilated for the same reason, windows might let burglars in. Sheet glass for windows wasn't invented yet and it would be another 1000 years before someone invented the chimney. So Roman houses were dark, smoky and smelly.
I'm building this on a very large scale, about 4 nodes to a metre. At this scale I should be able to recreate much of the furniture as well. Hopefully the only mod required will be moreblocks.
