tals in the Forum in Rome and that of Livia on the Palatine Hill.
Great blocks of flats or tenements were called insulae. Exca-
vations at Ostia, Italy, have revealed the design of these blocks.
Planned on three or four floors with strict regard to economy of
space, they depended on light from the exterior as well as from a
central court.
The villa was an estate, complete with house, grounds, and
subsidiary buildings.
Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, began about AD 123, was a sumptuous
residence with parks and gardens on a large scale. The unevenness
of the site necessitated large terraces and flights of steps. There are

factories, roads, aqueducts, viaducts, bridges, grand thermae and
amphitheatres, theatres, and temples.
The greatest surviving circular temple of antiquity is the Pan-

surrounded by concrete walls 20 feet thick, in which are alternate
circular and rectangular niches. The rotunda and dome are among
the finest examples of Roman concrete work. The interior was lined
with precious marbles, the coffers (decorative recessed panels) of the
dome itself once were covered externally with bronze plates.
The largest and most important amphitheatre of Rome was the
Colosseum. Covering six acres (2.4 hectares), it had seating for
