The Construction And Use Of The Roman Insulae
Roman insulae were multi-story apartment buildings that housed the majority of the urban population in ancient Rome. These structures were often crowded, poorly constructed, and prone to fires and collapses. Insulae served as a reflection of the social and economic inequalities in Roman society. Their construction and use demonstrate the challenges of urban living in the ancient world.
