This is fantastic. I'm a sucker for history from the "as lived" point of view - and there is little more "as lived" than the streets and houses and apartment blocks. (The posh floors were ground floors - the poor has to schlepp up all those stairs)
And Circus Maximus ... it could seat 1/4 Million people !! Holy Moly - that's bigger than stadiums today. (different Health and Safety rules I know) but still ... that's insane.
