    Most Roman apartments, even in insulae and slave quarters, had windows. Or, rather, shutters.

        I suppose I jumped the gun, or misread. I responded with ‘apartments’ not noticing that you had said ‘rooms’. Most Roman apartments had windows, cubicula often did, but only irregularly; more of a coin flip, with better-quality apartments more likely to have windows in the cubicula. I can send a book your way if you’re interested in the details; otherwise, just accept this mea culpa.

          No wonder they were so dangerous. Egress, c’mon guys, you figured out the distance to the moon and you can’t track that?
