How did people survive in ancient rome?

Answer 1

At present you can't stay anywhere because ancient Rome does not exist today. However at the time when it did exist there were cheap lodgings usually above a business or even some landlords would rent a room in their insula for a short term. If you were a businessman you generally would stay with friends or contacts, as the Romans were very hospitable to people they knew. If you were in the city on military business, you would be provided with a place to stay by the government. If you were a dignitary from a foreign country or one of the provinces, the wealthy would open their houses or villas to you.
