A distinction was created between rustic and urban settlements:

  • Country villas (villa rustica),[2][3] from where the exploitation of resources was directed, slave workers resided, livestock were kept and production was stored.
  • Urban villas (pars urbana),[2] in which the lord resided and which increasingly adopted the architectural and beautification forms typical of urban mansions. When from the first century the great territorial property was divided between the area directly exploited by the lord and that ceded to tenant settlers, urban villas became the centers of the administrative power of the lords,[citation needed] appearing the forms of vassalage typical of feudalism of the fourth century.[citation needed]
