GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Portuguese term or phrase: residência áulica
'Trata-se de uma grande residência áulica, e neste momento a escavação decorre em dois sectores distintos.'

I've seen 'aulic' on Linguee, but when I look it up on Google, all I get is 'hydraulic' or a company called 'Aulic House'.

I want to be sure whether this term really exists in English and, if not, what would be the proper term for it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

agree  Gilmar Fernandes: Your second option. I would stay away from "aulic" even though it exists, but we need our readers to understand our work :)
