		In addition, some of the lazier insulae occupants are not too careful in ensuring that all of their individual waste pots gets into the central vat thus this can be a disgusting area.
		Some insulae do not permit animals or slaves to be housed there while others have either basement kennels or slave rings in a yard.
		Insulae are not comfortable places to live but their cheapness is attractive.

	Insulae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Roman architecture, insulae were large apartment buildings where the lower and middle classes of Romans (the plebs) dwelled.
		The insulae were therefore of poor construction and prone to fire and collapse, as described by Juvenal.
		Because of the dangers of fire, and collapse, the height of the insulae were restricted by Emperor Augustus to 70 feet, and again by Emperor Nero down to 60 feet after the Great fire of Rome.

		If only local defense is adopted, the effectiveness of protection against high water depends on the level of the insulae protection, while the feasibility of implementation depends on the extent of simultaneous construction, which determines the duration of the construction phase and the cost of construction.
		Since the time span to complete the augmented insulae will be a multiple of the construction time of the mobile gates, the present value of the cost of the augmented insulae is lower than that of the mobile gates project.
		It is clear that even if in some case the augmented insulae project performs better than the mobile gates project from a cost-benefit point of view, it always performs worse from the point of view of the degree of protection from high water damage.

		Maar Augustus verbood het optrekken van insulae die meer dan zeventig voet (eenentwintig meter) hoog waren, omdat de overdreven hoogte van sommige appartementsgebouwen vaak verantwoordelijk was voor hun instorting.
		De gemiddelde oppervlakte van een insula varieerde tussen de 300 m² en 400 m²; als men dat grondvlak vergelijkt met de hoogte (en ik bedoel hier de wettelijk toegelaten hoogte!) van achttien meter, dan is de wanverhouding tussen de basis en de hoogte onmiddellijk duidelijk, evenals het uit die wanverhouding voortvloeiende gebrek aan stabiliteit.

	American Journal of Archaeology / Article Abstract
		The architectural/residential unit (ARU) concept previously defined and elaborated for Ostia is here considered in light of the Roman evidence.
		I conclude that the ARU is the best candidate to be the archaeological correlate of the term insula in the Regionaries.
		Finally, the polysemic nature of residential terms in different languages may explain why there has been understandable controversy over the interpretation of the term insula as it occurs in the Regionaries.

		Most citizens living in Rome and other cities were housed in "insulae." These were small, street-front shops and workshops, whose owners lived above and behind the working area.
		Several insulae would surround an open courtyard and would, together, form one city block.
		The insulae were usually badly built and few had any running water, sanitation or heating.

		Roman insulae were very tall (up to 100 feet in height) and most were large enough to warrant the incorporation of an internal light-well; many were large enough to contain more than one internal light-well.
		Multi-story apartment houses, insula or 'islands', were home to urban Romans who couldn't afford their own domus.
		Before the days of elevators, there was no such thing as a 'penthouse.' We don't know the height of the tallest Roman insula, but Augustus limited the height of insulae in Rome to 70 ft. and a later emperor to 60, so seven or eight stories may have been relatively common.

	Insulae
		It is complained also that many insulae are put up in a cheap and absolutely dangerous manner.
		The old law of Twelve Tables (450 BC) required a passage way (ambitus) of at least two and one half feet on either side, but this law was recklessly disregarded until the great fire of Nero enabled the government to enforce a better building code.
		However, even then, the insulae are often hemmed in on all sides by miserable back alleys hardly accessible.

		Later, in the 19th and especially in the 20th century, the city was excavated, but only for a small part; the rest of it is still covered underneath the present town of Ercolano.
		In this study a new view is given on the city plan of ancient Herculaneum, by combining the evidence from the ancient writers, the 19th century explorations and the analysis of the measurements of the excavated house-blocks ("insulae").
		First of all the allotment of these two insulae is made visible, which gives way to a discussion about the division of land in pre-Roman Campania.

		Insulae were developed in the late first century BC, due to population pressures in many cities.
		Insulae were often several storeys, with six to eight apartments all up, and the street level often being occupied by shops.
		Fire was often a big risk, and insulae were also prone to collapse.

		Tras concluir una visita a la exposición Fortunatae Insulae salgo algo confusa, debo reconocerlo, de ver tan enorme número de objetos sin haber alcanzado a comprender del todo el hilo conductor.
		Como todos los que en el pasado pudimos asombrarnos de su enorme valor para el conocimiento de la prehistoria isleña, nos cuesta comprender ahora cómo ha podido tener lugar la extraña metamorfosis que convirtió a la misma piedra con una supuesta inscripción líbico-bereber en prueba de un origen tan distinto, tan fenopúnico.
		Los organizadores de la exposición Fortunatae Insulae, y me refiero aquí fundamentalmente al director del Museo de la Ciencia y del Hombre, Rafael González Antón, deben saber a estas alturas que no es lo mismo bereber que púnico.
