Visiting Herculan in Italy (the _much_ better preserved sister city to Pompeii) really put those kind of things for me into perspective.
There are street numbers, pubs, fast food joints, various multi story buildings with some of the murals intact, especially the gymnasium/public baths really showed to me - “I could totally see myself living in this kind of environment” it was … weird and uncanny, but very educational experience.

They looked pretty the much same as any house block in Spain on any town/village in the 21th century. Crazy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulae https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulae
