For the past two hours or so, I've been leering over at image #1, typing up all the words and then googling them. I then crosscheck to see if they were around in 200BCE, what they looked like and what they were used for.
I'm about half way through.
The forum is amazingly packed. In fact, whilst looking up the Cloaca Maxima, I came upon the most excellent gem and beauty that is Image #2. Not only did it map out a little more of the city for me, it showed me a couple of domusi, which should help with sizing them up.
And finally, in Image #3, it shows image #1 and #2 overlaid into an approximate location of the city of Rome - giving a sense of its size!
