Best Answer

To buy a domus in a small town/city would have costed around 100,000 sestertii.

Insulae were more often than not, owned by a 'landlord'. So people would rent rather than buy.

On that basis, the condition of the insula would probably be worse than a domus but bigger; it probably would have cost significantly less than 100,000.

How are homes today similar or different to a roman villa?

The average ancient Roman house, outside of the city, was usually big with an atrium, bedrooms, kitchens, and a courtyard. The shape of the house was a square shape. As you walked into it there was aprotocol with fountains, plants, and flowers. The first room was the room where guests were greeted and behind that would be living quarters and slave quarters in the very back. The kitchen was outside in case of fire in the cooking process. The walls were highly decorated with paintings on the walls. Bathing was done in bath houses and steam baths so the houses didn't contain a bathroom. In the city, however some lived in apartment buildings, but around the center of Rome there were also wealthy homes and where the Colosseum sits today was the place of Nero. Many of the poor also lived in small one or two room "houses" built close together.This was of course in the time of the Republic and Empire.
