Rome was (and still is) in the Mediterranean. Therefore it has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and mild winters. A hot climate encourages an outdoors lifestyle, which was a characteristic of the Romans. Hot weather and mild winters were particularly useful for the poor. They lived on the higher floors of apartment blocks (insulae) four to six floors high. The higher floors were cheaper because they were less safe in case of fire. The poor lived in small and overcrowded rooms with no running water, heating, cooking facilities or toilets. They went there only to sleep. They ate outdoors, went to outdoors public toilets and washed at the public baths.
The warm weather also influenced the design of the houses of the rich (domus) whose living areas were arranged around an open inner courtyard (atrium).

There are many other things on the Roman list of inventions that have come down to us and affect our lives in one way or another.
