Excavations are in progress in the insulae to the east of the portico. |
These flats were known as insulae and only contained two rooms at the most. |
The site presents a Sufetula urban streets where the regular straight cut is at right angles and demarcate insulae reserved housing. |
Most insulae were given to the first settlers of a Roman city, but each person had to pay to construct his own house. |
Terraced structures and an insulae probably used as housing, which was set on two to three levels, flanked in this section of the road on the Market side. |
The hole from the roof was tiny, given that the building was in the grand Roman insulae tradition, built three storeys high, but it still gave a feeling of wealth to the home. |
