The houses found at Volubilis range from richly decorated mansions to simple two-room mud-brick structures used by the city's poorer inhabitants. The city's considerable wealth is attested by the elaborate design of the houses of the wealthy, some of which have large mosaics still in situ. They have been named by archaeologists after their principal mosaics (or other finds) House of the Knight takes its name from a bronze statue of a rider found here in 1918 that is now on display in the archaeological museum in Rabat ©Trevor
