Architecture of the Official Spaces of Selected Residences in Nea Paphos, Cyprus

Ancient residences in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, reveal sophisticated architectural strategies that underscored the social status of their owners during the Graeco-Roman period. A study analyzing three prominent houses—the 'Hellenistic' House, the Villa of Theseus, and the House of Aion—demonstrated how specific layouts and decorative elements in public zones like entrances, courtyards, and main rooms served as markers of prestige. The research highlights that these architectural features were not merely functional but also symbolically significant, reflecting the cultural and political importance of the residents.
