Ancient Rome
  • Rome was one of the greatest
  • powers of the ancient world,
  • and has also exercised a great
  • influence upon nearly all modern nations.
  • The Roman Empire lasted from 509 BC to AD 330.
    Early Roman art reflected its past in Etruscan
    civilization, but as the empire expanded, a
    distinctly Roman art emerged, the art of many
    different peoples and classes, from emperors to
    slaves. The architecture of the Romans was, from
    first to last, an art of shaping space around
    ritual". In other words, Ancient Roman
    architecture was regulated by their custom of a
    system of rites. Throughout this page, you will
    see the history and actual buildings of Roman
    architecture, how it relates to Roman rituals,
    and why the Romans were great builder of places
    of worship, country house, and public building
    carved out of marble.

Ancient Romes Architecture
  • Roman Coliseums

In the ancient world, the elliptical-shaped
Colosseum, taking ten years to build, was the
largest structure of its type. It stood 160 feet
high with four stories of windows, arches, and
columns.
Facade was limestone, brick concrete with
marble facing 3 orders superimposed (Doric,
Ionic, Corinthian)

  • The Aqueducts

Aqueducts are channels constructed of brick or
stone designed to carry water to a location in
which it can be used. Although Rome didn't have
the first aqueduct of the world, it was the only
major city reasonably supplied with water and
therefore most famous for them.

Columns of Temple to Dioscuri (Castor and
Pollux) on the Roman Forum (6 AD)
  • The Columns

The columns were utilized as a support and
decoration. The Ancient Roman came up with five
different types of columns, which are the
Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite.
Most of these, however, were adopted from Greek
columns.

Ancient Romes Architecture
  • Pantheon

The Pantheon, one of the most impressive
buildings in Rome, was rebuilt in A.D. 117-125
by Emperor Hadrian to replace an earlier temple
designed by Agrippa in 27 B.C. The original
rectangular temple, consisting of sixteen single
granite columns, became the porch for the newly
devised dome structure.

  • Roman Baths

Public baths were an important part of Roman
life. Early baths generally had dressing room
suites and bathing chambers with hot- , warm- ,
and cold-water baths alongside an exercise area.
Later, baths became progressively grander,
incorporating libraries, lecture halls, and vast
vaulted public spaces elaborately decorated with
statues, mosaics, and paintings.

The forum was the locus of Senate and

augurs were read and the auspices pronounced,
and a central area for ostentatious display of
grief and gratitude.

Paper Virtual Museum
  • The research was obtained from the internet. I
    checked different
  • websites on the internet to explore the
    Ancient Rome sites. These all
  • sources that I found on the websites listed
    under reference section,
  • were very helpful to my selected topic of
    Ancient Architecture. I found
  • Ancient Roman History Timeline very
    interesting because it doesnt
  • give details on the Roman architecture but also
    gives interesting
  • information about the findings of the legendary
    Rome, the invasions
  • and wars, the emperors of Rome, Roman coins,
    and the Roman
  • religion.

Paper Assignment
  • I tried to copy and paste the interesting
    pictures for my museum but it didnt work so I
    had to save those in my picture file and then
    insert it into my power point slides. I also
    found inserting the text into my slides for the
    pictures very difficult. I have not done this
    before and I am not very good in using
    technologies but I tried my best to present the
    best museum that I can. It took me several days
    just to figure out how I can insert the test to
    explain about the pictures in my slides but
    finally was able to do so.

15
Paper Assignment
  • The material was not very easy to get the
    necessary details and information and arrange it
    into slides. I would say that it took almost a
    week for me to search different sites and
    choosing the ones that interested me. So, it was
    kind of lengthy and time consuming and required
    hard work but it was interesting to do that first
    time in my life. Finding the pictures of
    different building and places of Ancient Rome
    were most valuable because of the required topic
    to explain and show the architecture of Rome.
  • The things that appealed me about my topic was
    the vast range of information. I get to know the
    details of these places, buildings and
    architectures in detail because I had to read
    about each picture information in detail to come
    up with the small version of the detailed
    explanation about a specific picture. This topic
    was important to study because it interested me
    and it was one of the required topic to work on.
    Besides that, it was important because I get to
    know every detail about the Roman architecture,
    which I can say that really increases my
    knowledge.

16
Paper Assignment
  • I think the details that was provided with the
    interesting pictures will give education to
    people who visit my museum about what kind of
    material were used to make those buildings, what
    was these buildings symbolize, the use of
    different architecture in creating beauty and
    uniqueness and the history and lifestyle of Roman
    people. It is important to learn about this
    topic because my museum not just interest people
    to find out the architecture of Rome, different
    buildings that were build during that time but it
    enhances the information by images to build
    interest in people visiting my museum to even
    learn more about this if needed by going to the
    bibliography sites and getting information in
    detail.
  • I would like you to know that this is my first
    project to create a museum. It was very much fun
    but needed a lot of time and attention and
    technology to figure it out to put all my
    information and pictures into the slides. It
    really took a chunk of time to think and finding
    out what would interest people when they visit my
    museum.
