Roman villas were large "country houses" of the wealthy. Villas had land associated with them and some were self-supporting with their own vineyards, olive groves, fish ponds, gardens, etc. Most were simply luxurious country homes of the very rich.

A domus was a house. Usually in a city with little or no land. A domus could be any size and many were luxurious just as a villa.

What is a term for a leader of the roman republic?

It's a tossup between Julius Caesar and Octavian. Julius Caesar was the last single leader of the Roman republic. However the republic did not abruptly end at his death. The second triumvirate was formed, which was a legally appointed trio with each man having equal power. When the triumvirate fell apart and Octavian came out on top, he technically became the last leader of the republic, making it much easier for him to form the principate.
