I think that most of the homelesses in the Ancient Rome layed a small mat for them everywhere, if they didn't build a small shack with some raw wood thrown out by some craft shops...Hey this last one would also be good, wouldn't it?

homeless could still have a temporary settlement like a small/large tent in c3 in which occupants scavanged for their own food and had poor water access. these tents were full of evil moods and bad hygeine. and yes, they could move around the city from time to time begging, mugging, and/or looking for a job.

Most of the displaced people lived in a makeshift tents, etc. in the area around the mausoleums and tombs outside the city of Rome. (You can see an explanation of this at the HBO "Rome" site in their background history video.)

I LOVE IT! Plebs in the Parks!

Which bring up a good point for anyone that played Emperor .... if I can make parks with plum, pear, and cherry trees WHY CAN"T MY PEOPLE EAT PLUMS AND CHERRIES !!!

so I like the idea of the homeless which were always shown before .. being shown a little better ... not just wandering towards the exit road ... sleeping in parks and alleyways, stealing food off the trees and out of private gardens ... breaking into a Patrician house, stealing some stuff, selling it at the market and buying himself a small shack!
