Margaret has an excellent blog post on Rome. She goes through many different aspects of Roman culture at that time. She describes the Maison Carree in detail - which is very interesting. She also included a fun fact that after Romans used concrete that it wasn't used again for centuries. I had no idea!
In Emily's post, she describes an insula and it made me think about current multi-use buildings. It seems like such a current trend in making new places to live/work/play. However, like most things, it's history repeating itself. There are ways of building that work really well in cities that you would see replicated over time.
