Roman housing was similar to our houses today because they had a kitchen, bedrooms, a front door, an office, and a dining room. However, nowadays most people have carpeting in their homes and don’t have mosaics on the floor. Nearly all of us probably have more furniture in our homes than the Ancient Romans. Also, almost all homes now have running water and a toilet, while in Rome, only the wealthy Romans did. Another major difference is that now all homes have advanced technology (computer, television) and in Ancient Rome that was unheard of.
