Housing and Houses in Ancient Rome - Domus, Insula, Villa

Housing in ancient Rome brings to mind initially the roman villa, a large country residence. But, houses in ancient Rome also included roman Domus and Villae. However, many Roman citizens lived in so called insulae, urban apartment blocks, which had up to seven floors. Only the wealthiest Romans were able to afford a roman domus, a city mansion, and only the super-rich owned a countryside roman villa.
The home of an average citizen in the city of Rome could have looked like this. These blocks of houses the Romans called “islands”, or insulae in Latin. On the ground floor, there were stores , the so-called tabernae. On the upper floors, there were cenacula, apartments. The roomiest and best-furnished flats were on the first floor. they had, multiple rooms, balconies, toilets and in some cases even running water fed by aqueducts. The residents of the higher floors lived in smaller and poorer apartments without private toilets, but they were cheaper. On the rooftops of insulae, there were sometimes even improvised wooden sheds.

@andersonklein3587 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, wealth per capita didn't change too much from Roman Times until the Second Industrial Revolution, a lot of the housing that the insula brings to mind was built during the Second Industrial Revolution. I think it would be fair to say that in the 20th century, the average American would be living in something more that resembles more of a domus than an insula. It's all Malthusian really, the sustained economic growth was just always lower than the potential populational growth, the pie may double but population would grow to catch it up... Nowadays, with fertility rates low and growth rates positive, we should see the average wealth change ever faster in developed nations.

The insula is still to this day the best urban model existing and still used in europe after the concept was modernized in France by Napoléon III to build modern Paris and major French cities, in France we call it 'ilôt" (which is the French evolution of the word Insula). And even after the post-war period that saw the building of anarchical constructions, nowadays, urban planner are coming back again at the insula. The Romans were a people centuries ahead of their time.

Actually a lot has changed depending on the country. The plebs in Rome only had a room in the insulae to which they would return in the evening to sleep, but would do everything else in the streets: eat, go to the latrines, the baths... Nowadays with TV, a bathroom and take-out food, some people never leave their homes.

It always amazes me that for people of today, an ancient Roman town would've looked more familiar than a medieval town. They were so advanced that it took Europeans over a thousand years to reach this level of urban planing and infrastructure again. And when this happened, it only took us like 300 years to get to where we are now. So from a certain point of view, we aren't really that distant from antiquity.

I came here after reading Lindsey Davis's Marcus Didius Falco novels. They are brilliant at describing the everyday life in Ancient Rome, the one thing that I found most unbelievable was the concept of him living in a seventh floor apartment. Given that Lindsey took some liberties in assigning some modern psychology and attitudes to the characters I was really curious to see if all the material history was correct. (I know her writing is extremely well researched, but you never know when a writer is just applying their artistic licence) Turns out it was accurate! Great video and really well explained

Also, I have to compliment the writer of script for the interesting way that the story of Ofella was woven into the distinctions of Domus, Insula and Villa.

He puts a lot of effort into these kind of embedded narratives, which are not easy to do. Especially because they ultimately need to fit into a video format, this is to say that we sometimes have to shorten or cut very funny/ creative ideas.

@@SandRhomanHistory - narrative Again, it's not so often that a thoughtful blending of a personal story with a overall cultural story is done. And I have to say that it really helped. I was in Ostia, btw, and I went there specifically to view the Insulae that were there, including the House of Diana, which I think in the graphic is interpreted (I could be wrong). So, I was there with you, more than you 2 might think, but I still learned from your presentation. Side thought on the three types of structures. It would be amazingly great if some millionaire thought to recreate several examples of domi, insulae and even villae, complete with furnishings, facilities and so on. Either exactly as they were in Roman times, or with slight tweaks for modern conveniences, such as glass windows, bathrooms, kitchens, and of course economical heating/cooling. The first way would be to see the finished product, as we see in digital imaging, but the second, for a way to grok (ala Heinlein) the Roman way of life with a modern twist, which could inspire many new ways of building in the future.

Whoever finds our reference to a certain poem by Catullus will be blessed by the gods. Minor spoiler for the video: Plutarch wrote that Sulla had to say the following about Ofella "The lice were very troublesome to a clown, as he was ploughing. Twice he stopped his ploughing and purged his jacket. But he was still bitten, and in order that he might not be hindered in his work, he burnt the jacket; and I advise those who have been twice humbled not to make fire necessary the third time." Also note that the study room is called Tablinum while I say Tablinium by mistake.

It is early Slavonic in origin and the root goes back many millennia further to Proto-Indo-European; it is cognate not only with Greek (domos) and Latin ( domus) but also English (dhome = home) and the other Germanic languages, as well as Persian (hom), Sanskrit (om) and a host of others derived from PIE.

You know that the grotte di catullo are not located at the gulf of Naples? It is a bit confusing in the video

Domus is the word from which 'domain' comes. Dominus: lord.

I think(?) it went Domus-> House/household, Dominus-> Head of the household, Domicile->the building. Domain comes from Desmense(?), which is the area of land you control/are the head of.

The way domus went to become domain I'm not sure, what I'm pretty sure of is that domus is the root word from which domain stems. Condominium (AKA condo) is the shared domain (co-domain), dominium = domain = something owned, by an owner, or dominus.

Great vid. Roman life was so strange, all the sophistication of modern life but you can still kill your rivals in front of a crowd of people. Lol

I mean why would the average person care about rich nobles killing upstart nobles? An assassination is straight forward. Ya don’t have to put up with their rivalry.
