      A similar one, although less a story and more a documentary, is Alberto Angela's A day in the life of ancient Rome. It too, talks about apartments in ancient Rome.

      In this line, I recommend A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome by Alberto Angela. The book is exactly that: a description of a day, from sunrise to sundown, in 115 CE Rome.
