to the Romans since structures like the Pantheon wasconstructed for the Roman gods.

UNIQUThe Romans were able to combine differentstyles of architecture due to its vast empire, andthey were also able to harness the power ofconcrete.

Like the Temple of Fortuna Virilis, it was able todistinguish itself from the Greek architecturebecause it has Ionic columns, which wereGreek in nature, and has some Etruscanelements like the high podium, deep porch andwide cella.

MARBLE

- tools: mallet and chisel- begins with the selection of a

marble for carving- direct way, by carving without a

model, creating a form or figurefrom scratch, with only the idea inhis mind as a guideline or clearlydefined model

Three unique characteristics to take a look at:

the Arch, the Vault and the Concrete.

The Arch-consists of two supports called piers and topped by

a platform called the impost.

Voussoirs- curved back ,topped on top of the impost.

Keystone- middle brick of the block and completesthe arch.

Vaults- a series of arches used to create high-ceilingrooms and long passageways.

Opus caementiciuma concrete made with aspecial Roman cement called called caementa-this is what gave its strength

DESCRI


14/17

Two influences

1. the worship and reverence of images, not only of gods and goddesses,but also of dead ancestors

2. the recording of ritualistic and triumphant events in bas-relief on pillars,arches, and tombs.

Whereas the faces of Greek portrait sculptures tend to display neither

expression nor emotion, Roman sculptures, particularly those carved inthe time of the Flavian emperors and after, have character andanimation. Reality before flattery.

Cartoons and some movies, like the Gladiator,would refer to this building and to portray thegladiatorial games during the Roman Empire.They were able to portray it this way, because

the Colosseum was really popular in holdinggladiatorial games and back then these gameswould be the equivalent of movies these days,because sometimes the spectators would seegladiators as what we would see in actorstoday.
