The video begins at the foot of Capitoline Hill, showcasing one of the best-preserved insulae (apartment buildings) from Imperial Rome.
This discovery is celebrated for its historical significance and proximity to a notable medieval church on Capitoline Hill.
Structure and Functionality
The insula features multiple stories, with commercial spaces located 30 feet below modern street level.
As one ascends through the building, apartment sizes decrease, reflecting economic disparities among residents.
The top floors are likely not preserved; currently, five stories are visible, indicating a hierarchical living arrangement based on wealth.
