The major difference between the lives of the wealthy and the poor in Roman society is best captured by the response: The wealthy lived in villas while the poor lived in urban areas.

Wealthy Romans often resided in large, luxurious country homes (villas) or in stylish urban houses, while the poor typically lived in crowded, substandard conditions in urban areas, such as insulae (apartment buildings).
