Romans were extremely interested in the genealogy of their houses. Changes of ownership were remembered, documented, and occasionally misrepresented. Certain houses were treated with something akin to a heritage mentality, and on occasion were even musealised. The lecture focuses on a late first-century house in Regio III whose multiple identities led, through a combination of erudition and confusion, to the dedication of a prominent early Christian church at the end of the fourth century.
