Video about Ammaia, a Roman town in Lusitania (Portugal) founded by Augustus in the first century AD. Pretty cool, shows how the main shopping street might have looked, plus a detailed view of the baths and the ’ courthouse’.

Roman street with shops in Woerden
Shopping%20street%20roman%20Woerden

The houses extended (on average) 34 meter backwards on their plot, with a maximum of 44 meters. They were around 5 to 8 meters wide. They had a small, square basement either at the front, or at the back. Small holes were found in the area behind the houses which were either wells for water, or cesspits. Loam was used to build the walls of the houses, but also the walls surrounding the garden using a rammed earth technique. These rammed earth lime walls were supported by wooden poles on either side.
