There was a fort about every five Roman miles.

insula

INSULA An insula was a kind of apartment building that housed most of the urban citizen population of ancient Rome, including ordinary people of lower- or middle-class status (the plebs) and all but the wealthiest from the upper-middle class (the equites). The traditional elite and the very wealthy lived in a domus, a large single-family residence. The ground-level floor of the insula was used for tabernae, shops and businesses, with the living space upstairs.
