I can add to Old Roman's home..... IN?LA but still can't get it.

[cruciverbals]

looks like an inula plant?

[foxspur]

It does, thanks, cruciverbalist. Inula is part of the spider plant family. But I don't get the wordplay.

[Neveracrossword]

Insula - a block of buildings, an apartment block in Roman times. Remove the 's' (no hint of Spider...)
