  3. MATERIALS: One of the things the Romans are most famous for is their architecture. The Romans brought a lot of new ideas to architecture, of which the three most important are the arch, the baked brick, and the use of cement and concrete. Around 700 BC the Etruscans learned West Asian ideas about architecture, and they taught these ideas to the Romans. There aren’t much Etruscan architecture left, but a lot of their underground tombs do survive, and some traces of their temples. The concrete the Roman builders and architects used.

  4. COLISEUM: Perhaps the greatest of all amphitheatres, is the Coliseum, a massive Ancient Roman structure. It was designed to serve as a location for bloodshed shows. The Ancient Roman community would travel to the enormous amphitheatre to be spectators of battles between gladiators, combats between men and vicious animals, and mock naval battles. Different photos of the Coliseum.

  6. ROMAN BATHS: Men and women enjoyed coming to the baths not only to get clean but to meet with friends, exercise, or read at the library. The baths had hot and cold pools, towels, steam rooms, saunas, exercise rooms, and hair cutting salons. They had reading rooms and libraries, as among the freeborn, who had the right to frequent baths, the majority could read. Generally, Romans Would first go to the unctuarium where they had oil rubbed onto their skin and would then exercise in one of the exercise yards. From here they would move to the tepidarium or warm room where they would lie around chatting with their friends. Ancient Roman baths.

  7. The Roman Baths are a historical place of interest in the English city of Bath. They are a very well preserved Roman site of public bathing, and have become a major tourist attraction.

  8. ROMAN TEMPLES: Like the Egyptians, the West Asians, the Carthaginians, the Greeks and the Etruscans before them, the Romans built many temples for their gods. One of the first buildings we know of in Rome is the Capitoline Temple, which was built on top of the Capitoline Hill under the kings of Rome. It was a temple for three gods, Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. But that temple has been completely destroyed, and only little bits of the foundations are left today. These two pictures are of the same Republican period victory temple in Rome.

  9. The Temple of Jupiter covered a surface of approximately 88 m out of 48 m, what made the largest Roman temple. It dominates the Great court above 7,5 m and the gardens around above 13 m. Today, there remain only six columns of the southern peristyle (a seism had cut down three of them in 1759). They are 20 m high and 2,2 m diameter.
