I love the analogy of how we in modern times, looking at a visual spectacle in a movie theater, in many ways mirrors the insatiable desire for action that those living in ancient Rome had. It was this desire that caused them to gravitate to the gladiatorial games in the same way we flock to the movie theaters. It is not just entertainment. It is a form of catharsis from the humdrum of our day to day existence. That was an excellent observation. The first Gladiator film is one of my all time favorite films. I plan on seeing Gladiator II sometime this week. Your historical commentary just has me more excited for the experience.

Sorry, they have little to do with the Romans. That's a stretch. The poor Romans lived on upper floors because the rent was cheaper. They were like squatter homes stacked on one another. Apartment living came into being when the landed gentry looked for a bolt hole in the city whilst conducting their business. Mansion blocks were designed in the early to late 19th Century, as small grand versions of country houses, stacked 5 to 7 floors depending on location and closeness to the palaces of the ruling class. Each floor had only two apartments and were complete with servants quarters, coal cellars and stables in some cases.

You’re absolutely right that the poor Romans often lived in the upper floors of insulae due to cheaper rent and the often poorer conditions there-we actually touched on that in the video. Our intention was to highlight the insulae and suburra as significant early examples of stacked residential living in urban environments. While it's true that the modern concept of apartment living-especially as mansion blocks-took shape in the 19th century, the insulae represent an important precedent in terms of multi-family dwellings within a city. Thank you again for sharing your perspective-we always appreciate a thoughtful discussion on these fascinating historical topics!

Thank you, Francesca, for this informative presentation on the origins of modern day apartment living and the seminal part that Roman society had to play in the creation of such a form of housing. It just illustrates how many facets of modernity owe their existence to the magnificence of Rome.

Instead of a scarf, maybe just wear I don't know... Sleeves? You're as helpful as a boat anchor to a person drowning.

@crowntourscom Ай бұрын

@@jamesdykes517 Hi James! Sleeves are for sure the best choice, however as Rome gets very hot during spring and summer, it is also understandable if someone prefers to wear other options that they are comfortable with throughout the day and just lightly cover themselves inside monuments. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us!

@jamesdykes517 Ай бұрын

@@crowntourscom so dragging around a scarf is better somehow? Rather than a couple inches of cloth? Why not lighter fabrics? Also, it only really applies to women... Also, you can't show your knees in many places, so what do I do for that joint? Wear a couple more inches of cloth? It's not really an opinion so much as common sense.

@@jamesdykes517 You're right! Each person can be comfortable with a different choice based on their preferences and their situations, these are tips and ideas.

@jamesdykes517 Ай бұрын

@@crowntourscom not much of a tip. Also, you then have to hold the scarf unnecessarily in two ways when literally two inches of fabric would do... I wish you the best, but it seems you're just putting out nonsense. Sorry to be such a jerk.

I never would’ve imagined that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michelangelo had anything in common. It makes perfect sense that both men were Inspired by statues of antiquity, but chose to express their inspiration using different art forms. Finding Conan’s sword and realizing that it is the journey that makes the story must’ve been a magical moment. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Francesca, for this artfully explained recounting of the exploits of such an important family in Western history. As the old saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The Medici reigned centuries ago, and were able to influence so much because of their pivotal role in high finance. Bankers and those who work in the financial sector still, centuries after the Medici, hold disproportionate influence over our day to day lives and our political landscape. At least the the Medici cultivated the greatest artistic flourishing in human history, which is more than I can say for Goldman Sachs, Blackrock and Vanguard.
