Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulae were multi-story buildings with small apartments or rooms that were rented to lower and middle-class citizens. Tabernae were shops or small businesses located on the ground floor of insulae, but not necessarily where people lived. Castra were military camps, and villas were country estates owned by the wealthy.
