The use of columns and of an entablature and pediment originates from Greco-Roman architecture. The entablature is a block of stone (architrave) placed horizontally on top of the columns and can include a wide decorative panel called frieze and a cornice, which is another decorative element which forms the top of the entablature and protrudes from the rest. The pediment is the triangular space above the entablature which supports a sloped roof. This is the structure of the extension at the centre of the front of the White House. At the back of the White House, the semi-circular extension (the South Portico) is supported by columns and its shape is that of the exedra of Greco-Roman architecture.

In the city of Rome itself, the emperors had houses usually on the Palatine Hill. This was their "official" residence. However all of them had luxury villas scattered over Italy and the rest of the empire as well. In the later years of the western empire some emperors never even lived in Rome at all.
