PREHISTORIC ROME
Rome was the greatest power west of China and served as a catalyst in spreading art and civilization. They also controlled commerce in the western Mediterranean Sea. Rome was greatly inspired by Greece. Like Greece, their buildings had columns (decorative and structural). They also had extravagant ornamentation and furniture. They also discovered concrete! Rome also develoved the arch, barrel vault and domes.
The coliseum was a prototype of sports arena that held gladiator fights and cultural events. Each label has a podium, column, entablature. It was made out of concrete and stone and could seat at least 50,000.
The pantheon is the worlds largest un-reinforced concrete domes of the world. Oculus was 142 feet in diameter and 142 feet high. It was a temple witha dome and was commicioned by Marcus Agrippa and rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian.
The Maison Carree is one of the best exapled of a Roman Temple. It was built in 16 B.C. and renovated by Marcus Agrippa. This temple was located in the south of France. The Maison Carree had a deep porch with corinthian columns and a roman sequence.
Roman furniture were made from wood, metal, and stone. When it came to seating there was the throne, chair, couch, and stool. Tables were multipurpose and were usually made of marble. Beds were almost always additions to the bad of the couch.
