Abstract
Abstract The House of the Tribunus Laticlavius, a large building in the legionary fortress of Aquincum, has only been partially excavated, and this was in the 1970s. This short paper makes an attempt to understand its function and find its place in Roman architecture through a reconstruction of its floor plan and comparison with other prominent residential buildings of the period which share similar features. It appears very likely that the house is based on a loose adaptation of a Hellenistic model, tailored to the needs of high-ranking officers of the Roman army.
Highlights
In the present paper we will examine a specific building and its possible architectural roots: an officer’s house from the legionary fortress of Aquincum in Lower Pannonia

Where should we search for the origins of the floor plan of the House of the Tribunus Laticlavius? It seems to be quite reasonable to start from the Palazzo delle Colonne, which was a large and complex building in Ptolemais in Cyrenaica
