(THIS IS AN OFFICAL, "WHAT WILL SHE WEAR NEXT?" SITE.)
 
Welcome to my Domus! I am Messalina Terentius, an actress and dancer at the theater of Pompey. (I know what is said of women on the stage, but it is not always true.) I came to Rome two years ago from my father's estates outside of Capua. He owns a fine villa there and a gladiator school as well. 
Allow me to introduce my household staff. This is my very able bodied bodyguard Macro.
Musical, simply musical. Oh yes, and he plays the lyre too. He has been with me the longest, a gift from the Senator who felt I needed a bodyguard. Bodyservant what he really is. Macro sees to all me needs. There is gossip among the slaves that he is in love with me. I pay no mind to the idle catter of the kitchen slaves.
This is Demetrius ex-gladiator. I must admit, that I have a weakness for gladiators. It must be my upbringing in Capua that set my tastes in men. I bought him at an auction for gladiators from a school that had gone out of business. He is completly devoted to me and follows me everywere! He works in my private apartments and helps me with all manner of things. Being Greek he speaks and reads Greek, Egyptian, Hebrew and some Celtic. He also is in charge of the olive oil supply to my household. He is a shimmering additon to my stable of servants.
My newest aquisition is Apollonius.
He is from the East, Caesarea if I recall correctly He is new to the household and so for now he lights the lamps. He is also very good with opening doors and arranging cushions on the couches for my guests. I never cared much for men with beards but there is just something of the animal about him that apeals to me. Oh yes, Demetirus has a beard too! Oh well, what can I say? 
Here we have is Titus.
He helps my guests feel more comfortable. He is a masseur from Gaul. He has very stong hands and can work out any tightness that you may have. I always feel so relaxed after he has worked me over. What was that you said? Oh....another beard! Well that does it, I am taking them all to the baths for a shave!
Oh and of course Pomponia.

On the right is a portrait of the actor Merula, one of my costars at the theater. When ever we appear together the house is sold out. He and I are thinking of taking the show on the road to Alexandria Egypt!
