Resumo:The “House of the Bronze Head” is a domus located in Sa Portella, one of the residential areas of the Roman City of Pollentia. Relevant issues regarding its interpretation remain undetermined, mainly because of the partial knowledge that exists of its architectural layout. As with other houses in the same residential area, defined by their symmetry, this house reveals several features regarding its spatial distribution and connectivity, specifically those of its peristyle and entrances. These issues highlight the need to search for parallels in North Africa that can clarify how this domus would have been organized and how it would have functioned.
