Ancient Rome
- Homes __ "The lower class Romans (plebeians) lived in apartment
houses, called flats, above or behind their shops. Even fairly well-to-do
tradesmen might chose to live in an apartment-building compound over their
store, with maybe renters on the upper stories. Their own apartments might be
quite roomy, sanitary and pleasant, occasionally with running water. But others
were not that nice." Learn about living in ancient Rome whether in an apartment
or a house. - illustrated - From crystalinks.com -

on the coffee table. There are little pieces of artwork all around our houses
today, and it was very much the same in Ancient Rome." - illustrated - From

limited space for development, the only way to go was up (as in NY City). The
most desirable apartments, however, were not on the top story, but on the
lowest." A good look at how the majority of urban Romans lived. - illustrated -

Roman Houses __ A brief look at Roman houses in Britain and access to

visit, most houses in Great Britain would have been rounded reed huts with
beaten dirt floors. Roman Houses however, were a step upwards as far as creature
comforts were concerned - especially if you were wealthy." - From

http://www.aboutbritain.com/articles/roman-houses.asp
Roman Houses __ You will find an overview of Roman houses. "Roman
houses were so well built, if you were rich, that many examples of Roman houses
exist throughout the Roman Empire. If you were poor in Rome, you lived in simple
flats or apartments - the inside of these places was symbolic of your lack of
wealth. These flats were known as insulae and only contained two rooms at the
most. People tended to use them only for sleeping as they had to work, visit the
baths (as their flats had no running water) and they usually ate in local inns
as cooking in these flats was not safe." - illustrated - From

Roman Insulae (Apartments) - History for Kids! __ "In
big cities, most Romans lived in apartment buildings we call insulae
(IN-sue-lie), or islands (because they often took up a whole city block). During
the 100's AD, there were almost 50,000 apartment buildings in Rome (mostly with
many families living in them), and fewer than 2000 private houses." A very brief

Roman villa
__ "A Roman villa is a villa that was built or lived in during the Roman Empire.
The Empire contained many kinds of villas. Some were pleasure houses such as
those like Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, that were sited in the cool hills within
easy reach of Rome or on picturesque sites overlooking the Bay of Naples. Some
villas were more like the country houses of Early Modern England, France or
Poland, the visible seat of power of a local magnate, such as the famous palace
rediscovered at Fishbourne in Sussex." An encyclopedic article. - From wikipedia
