“Pe insula mea

Au mai trecut pe aici

Dar i-am rugat să nu stea

Nu am vrut să rămână

Nici prea mult să se țină

Poate că am intuit

Și-am vrut să te aștept pe tine”

- Insula - The Motans, EMAA

Did Roman apartment houses have a "Super" on site, or a doorman? Was parking included for your horse and wagon? What happened if your insula went condo? In this video you'll learn about Roman apartment houses, or insulae; who lived in an insula, and on what floors; the floor plan of a typical insula; and what a typical insula would have looked like.

While we aren’t associated with them, we would like to give a major shoutout to @the-muno-project!

Please check out their blog, it’s a very promising AU and we’d love to see it grow!

It is also connected with brain areas that register sensations coming from the rest of the body: the insula, which relays messages from the viscera to the emotional centers; the parietal lobes, which integrate sensory information; and the anterior cingulate, which coordinates emotions and thinking.

Meditação não te oiço e é como se me achasse dentro de um templo fechado. o silêncio é a obra através da qual se descobre a memória e à falta de toque só o teu nome pronunciado e a fé na tua aparição ilumina as arcadas. a tua ausência tem-me o corpo vazio, falta-me o milagre da presença poderia chamar-te deus estás aqui latente mas não estás.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits; this street view in Piraeus. I was on my way to the archaeological museum from the metro.

Ancient and modern, cheek by jowl at Πλατείας Ροντήρη

Visible are the archaeological remains of a Roman residential / city block or insula.
