罗马行省

罗马公寓楼。古罗马时期，普通平民和下层贵族的住所最常见的是罗马公寓楼——一栋多层的公寓楼。罗马公寓楼（复数形式为insulae）通常由富有的贵族地主所有，他们将房间出租给大众，每月收取租金。 这些公寓楼的一楼通常供街头小贩摆摊售货。这些小商铺环绕着一个内部庭院，方便其他居民进行日常生活活动

Roman Insula. The most common dwelling place for the average and lower-ranking plebeian citizens of antiquity was the Roman Insula - a multifloor apartment block. The Roman insula (plural insulae) was usually owned by wealthy patrician landowners, and they leased the rooms out for a monthly sum to the masses. The first floor of these insulae were usually reserved for street vendors to sell there wares. These smaller shops surrounded an inner courtyard for the other residents to conduct their daily trappings.
