I break my back as funeral clown yet the emperor lets non-romans stay on our rich arable land. I get they're just fleeing the Huns but I swear those Goths will be the end of good Roman society.
- Shabby, run down apartments that cost more than a labourer's annual income; - A handful of rich people owning most property; - Badly maintained, cramped and dirty housing; Truly, nothing changes.
But back then, it didn't have any negative effects to social cohesion and long term social structures...just like today right. That's why the empire is still so strong....
@@letsburn00 I disagree with you on that. The grain dole, public feasts and public spectacles like chariot races and gladiator fights were paid for, at great cost, to mollify the poor.
I often mistakenly assume that people in ancient times lived so differently as to be beyond my ability to imagine it, but the way you explain the topics of your videos helps me vividly picure them in a way that is so relatable and connecting. It makes me so excited to learn more about them! Thank you for your videos.
Circumstances change, but human nature doesn’t change much. Plumbing and electrify are the big differences between housing then and housing now- and even those technologies weren’t widely used until less than 200 years ago. That’s a short time compared to the 20 centuries since Augustus was Emperor.
Man some things truly never change do they? Despite the thousands of years and advancements in indoor plumbing, chucking my urine and feces out the window into the street below is still a favorite pastime.
I was just at Ostia earlier this month. I was absolutely floored to see how well the Insulae were preserved. The narrow streets flanked by brick walls reminded me a lot of Brownstones in america haha.
I'm amazed that a city of a million people just had a note somewhere saying like " to rent this insulae, talk to Capridonicus" with no description of the guy, no address to see the guy.
@@EireHammerI'm an introvert. I would spend a lot of money on getting scribes to write and send messages for me. This meeting could have been s scroll or wax tablet.
Hey boomer, did you have to "find John, he'll sort you out", with nothing else to go by, therefore you had to wander the streets and ask passerbys "do you know John"?
They were painted with white with caustic lime for the more plebeian units Few had the luxury of having them painted, as paint falls of and needs to be reapplied, frescos were very expensive and caustic lime is very permanent
This takes me back to my ninth grade Latin class. The teacher told us that the most important question when house-hunting in ancient Rome was whether the insula was likely to burn down or fall down. If it looked sturdy, it would likely burn down, so you'd want a room on the first or second floor. If it looked likely to fall down, you'd want something on the top floor.
Okay, now I finally understand why some of those colorful life summary Roman epitaphs note the deceased's relief that death means an end to paying rent.
The fact that they generally needed to get water from public sources got me thinking that the astrological sign Aquarius, the water-bearer (our name today still in Latin, although the Romans did not actually invent the zodiac), would have been a far more natural image for the ancients to imagine in the sky than it would be in the contemporary world. It’s just one more distant echo from the past, among the many that still surround us to this day.
We came across that 5 story insulae you mentioned the last time we were in Rome. From the sidewalk you can look down over the guard rail to see where the original street level was. It's pretty cool and easy to miss in this busy area.
The concept of a multifloor apartment building made of concrete and (maybe) with plumbing sounds so modern that it's insane to think that not only did such things exist 2 thousand years ago but that there also were thousands of them!
But that is where WE got the idea from. The Roman emperors were the first who built apts above their Malls. Yes, Malls. We have borrowed so much from the ancient Romans it is beyond belief. And did you know that the Romans actually copied and borrowed from the Davidic kingdom of the Old Testament! Fun fact: Hitler is the one that invented the Highway roads/ system. In Italy they are called the Autobahn.
@@SunsetBoulevard111 what davidic kingdom? there is 0 archaeological evidence for such a thing, though it's plausible that a local ruler of that name existed
@0_1_2 4 to 6 floors, solid concrete, 2 millenia ago, and it's NOT a major public work or ego project? And there's thousands of them? Yeah, I'm pretty impressed
I very much like the new studio, but you might want to consider the angle of the lighting, which at the moment seems to be quite overhead, casting a clear shadow down on the front of your shirt. A flatter angle, perhaps skewed horizontally, might be more flattering.
@JohnDoe-tv4zf I'm not speaking about "beauty," unimportant to Dr. Ryan's great content, which I have gladly watched for quite a while. I'm making a lighting suggestion which might further improve the new approach the channel is taking to its videography and staging.
@@Asa-bh7zi Overhead lighting is not a problem, he just needs side lights and a light from under that points upwards, that will give even lighting, even if he adjusted the overhead it wont do anything but cast the shadow otherwise. The best he can do is lower the brightness on it and invest in more side lights. For video, more is always better, for photo you can get away with a tri-point setup.
@SMGJohn Indeed, but if I had to work with one or limited lights I might try to cast the shadow "behind" him on the set just to push it away from the central visual point. Naturally the full array you describe would entirely eliminate the issue
You forgot to mention the part where if you owned an insuli and a fire spread from your insuli to another, you could be held legally liable for the damages. So you could lose your own insuli AND have to pay for another ten that burnt down. One good fire could bankrupt a wealthy family.
Wow what a great style: quiet, professional, direct and to the point, no sensationalism or politicking like Mary Beard. Seems like a very solid channel. Subscribed.
@@MrFredericandre During the day, yes. But after a whole summer, heat builds up anyway and it doesn't cool during the night. Sleeping in 30+ degrees without a breeze is not fun - from personal experience.
For anyone interested in the subject I can very highly recommend Janet DeLaine's recent book _Roman Architecture._ It does exactly what it states on the tin, is very easy to read, beautifully illustrated, and mostly free of jargon.
Man your intro to the commercial caught me off guard! I watched it and that's the first one that did not annoy me and I appreciate that. Helix is lucky to have you.
Congratulations on the best segue from content into commercial I have seen since the first ad I have seen on this platform. 🎉the “helix” bit you slid in after you pointed out the bed frame surviving from Herculeanium not being very nice………….”that’s because they didn’t have HELIX…….” I call that perfect timing, working and also the visual was exactly what the eye was expecting more of so it hit the reward centers in my brain and kept me there 🎉 well done well done from the title to the content, if I have to be sold stuff so that I can be told stuff, then it should always be this seamlessly validating experience.
I have a picture of that exact same bed I took in Herculaneum a few months ago! It’s amazing how much wood was preserved from the ash that fell on that town. Thinking of that sliding wood panel door
It is no any problem that we are living in these Rome houses, except the missing of some modern kitchen appliances, hygiene facilities and power convenience.
7:30 I have had a discussion about this claim and I believe the literary source merely states he stayed in an apartment overlaying a bath, but not that he lived there. And at that it really wasnt *above* the actual bathhouse and more so next to and overlooking, given the archeological finds in ostia of insulae-bathhouse combination properties
Always good Garrett. I notice recently that it's obvious you're looking down to your notes as you talk. You might think to invest in a cue reader in front of your camera to eliminate this distracting problem. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the excellent and informative video I have been waiting for that other historians never write about these details. Now I’d love a video on the kind of jobs and pay and stores.
Thank you for years of excellent content, Garrett. Having studied history & economics for so long, it's always been a particularly compelling counterfactual to imagine how Imperial Rome would have progressed if it abolished its slave-based society & economy. I'd be VERY interested to see any kind of collaboration or exploration of the subject. And again, thanks as always for the fine work you do, and stay safe overseas!
Wow. That was the smoothest segue into an advertisement that I've ever seen. You have a lot going on in your mind! Don't be worried, Dr. Ryan, your content is very interesting. We won't leave! (Unless the boss is coming down the corridor.)
I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Ostia Antica, a short train ride from Rome, several years ago. There is an insula which is still in good enough condition for you to climb up to the third floor in. It was very cool.
I'm sitting here listening to this, and looking at the picture of the insula,in your opening and straight ahead and above me is a picture of my mom's house in Italy when she was a young girl , and it's designed the same way ! exactly, store 1st, and living rooms 3 story's up.
In London 10 years ago my sister was paying more than that for a room. Not even particularly central, either. I'm glad she left. Now she has a lovely house
Do you provide a list of your sources? Im studying architecture and land use and this is a gold mine for historical context. Any other civilizations would be great too like the mycenaean empire.

Fascinating ☺ Nothing new under the sun. Sigh.

I can't stand mattresses. My bed is more like the Roman bed shown in the video. Sorry, Helix.
Killer Segue into the ad! Cumia would be proud
Your sponsor missed a trick surely by not naming their kingsize bed the 'Double Helix'?
Getting an insula these days is ridiculus! A 1 bedroom floor in Rome cost 69 denarii/month! Thanks Tiberius!
I break my back as funeral clown yet the emperor lets non-romans stay on our rich arable land. I get they're just fleeing the Huns but I swear those Goths will be the end of good Roman society.
People need to stop blaming Tiberius we all know well it was Augustus who's at fault
69 .. nice

That's nothing. In Novo Yorkus, rent is 7,000 sestertii a month.

“insulae were built by wealthy speculators”….it sounds SO much like what we have today in Rome. I feel my hometown will never change nor evolve.
