...The two different scared spaces that I choose to research are The Pantheon and St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish. The Pantheon is known as a temple built in Rome, Italy originally in 27 BC. This temple was first dedicated to all Gods, which is also known as Paganism and transformed into a Roman Catholic Church later in history. As for St. Stanislaus, this is a Roman Catholic Church that is located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania and was founded in 1907. The Pantheon and St. Stanislaus are both currently considered under Roman Catholicism yet, have different history behind their religion as the Pantheon originated as a Pagan religion and St. Stanislaus has always been Catholic. These scared spaces share the similarity in Catholicism however; their unique architect and history are very different. St. Stanislaus is a beautiful stone building with a large triangular peak where the cross sits on top. The front of the space has four columns that stick out of the building. The entrance is very simple with a small porch that leads to one main entrance way. There are three small rounded windows that are not translucent and look very dark and gray to the eye. Aside from the architect of the building, there are saint statues in the front of St. Stanislaus; the saint that this church is named after. From the outside of this building the structure is old and aged looking yet, the inside is where the beauty lies. Statues line the inside of this church from facial marble structures on the walls...

...7 wonders of ancient Rome Baths of Caracalla: Baths of Caracella were built under the reign of Caracalla (Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus) he was a terrifying ruler and was accused of murdering his own brother. Caracella built the baths to gain more respect from his people. People said the baths were used to wash away guilt. The baths were 90002 meters overall. The building began in 212AD and was finished 4 years after as Caracella wanted to get the building done very quickly. The baths held 9 million liters of water in all the baths. There were men who worked under ground to pump hot water to all the baths. The baths could hold up to 2000 people. His own bodyguard eventually murdered Caracalla. Although Caracalla was a horrible ruler, he made the romans very happy, giving them a place to socialize and make very important business meetings. Circus Maximus: The Circus Maximus was double the size of a football pitch today. It is half a km long it could hold 350,000 people at a time it was the largest arena ever. It was 14,000 meters around. The arena was 30 meters high. It entertained 1/3 of Rome. It was used for chariot racing and there were 50 deaths a year from the chariot racing. The arena lasted for 500 years, the longest lasting arena of that time. Forum: Trajan's Forum was like the times square of Rome. A man called Apollodoris was the architect. It was 200 meters long, to many people it was like entering a new world. It developed the first ever shopping...

...Roman Pompeii This image of a painter shows both a framed painting and a painted statue (believed to be Priapus). Since the framed painting is complete, it is unclear why it is held by the boy. It is too far away to be easily accessible and too dissimilar from the statue to be its model. The framed painting seems to be made of glass, as the background shines through. Note that a picture frame has been painted around the fresco itself. Augustus of Prima Porta Augustus of Prima Porta is a 2.03m high marble statue of Augustus Caesar which was discovered on April 20, 1863 in the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, near Rome. The Colosseum also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. It was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology.

...has changed dramatically. Time is not the only factor of why buildings look so different; location/culture is also a reason for buildings shape and design. Technology available is one major aspect of how buildings are designed and built. Century after century humans have came up with new ways to design structures, in the beginning they were built with sticks and stones and now they are built with man made steel and other strong substances that allows us to build roughly 1,700 feet into the air. Roman Architecture is the second longest lasting structures, only behind the Greek’s structures, that are still standing. The Roman Era was from 500 B.C.E. to 500 C.E. The most significant architectural structure from the Roman Era would have to be the aqueducts they built throughout their cities. These aqueducts delivered over forty million gallons of water to each of their cities. The Roman’s used arches in almost everything they made. They improved the design of them and placed arches all next to each other to form tunnels for their aqueducts. Some other architectural structures of importance from the Roman Era are the Circus Maximus, Colosseum, and the Pantheon. The Pantheon inspired more works than any other Greco-Roman monument. The Early Renaissance from the years 1300 to 1600 was devoted to the ideas of Roman structures and as well as the engineer Vitruvius Pollio. [Fiero, 2013 p. 189] It followed the gothic era, which was the most influential in the designs of this era. The most...

...the first Plebeian revolt as well as the results of the revolt. One of the main causes of the plebeian revolt was the existence of poverty among the Plebeians. The poverty was a result of the actions of the Patrician, in some ways. What happened was that the Plebs assisted the Patrician to expel the kings from Rome and led to a republican state. The fight against the kings left the plebs in a very worse off condition. Since the patricians lived in the city, during the war their property would remain secure. The city was guarded by walls. However, since the plebs lived in the countryside, which was not guarded, their property was greatly destroyed during the wars. The plebs’ fields were destroyed as much as their property. The destruction of the property and fields was possible since the Plebs men were fighting in the wars leaving their homes unprotected. So, whereas the men were fighting during the wars their properties and fields were being plundered, making them very poor at the end of the wars. So the Plebs were not happy that their properties and fields were being destroyed by the enemies, when in fact they were serving in the Roman army for the sake of protecting their country. That abject poverty and the resulting distress was one of the main causes of the revolt. The patrician did not assist in making their lives better. The second cause of the revolt was the unjust law of debt. The law of debt stipulated that the creditors could sell their...

...Eiffel Tower * Eiffel Tower is an iron tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. * It was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. * It has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris. * Submitted as a project in response to the note on the construction of a structure on the Champ de Mars, Gustave Eiffel designed the four legged tower for the bid. * Gustave did this with his assistant engineers Maurice Koechlin and Emily Nauguier and Architect Stephen Sauvetre. Gustave Eiffel Born in Dijon in 1832 * He was an Engineer who graduated from the Ecole central des Arts et manufactures (Central School of Arts and Manufactures) in 1855. * He constructed hundreds of Metallic structures around the world. * Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition of Paris of 1889 as an entrance arch commemorating the centenary of the French Revolution. * Originally the structure had been planned for Barcelona in 1888 but the authorities there did not believe it fitted in with the culture and design of the region and refused permission at which point the designer applied to the Paris authorities to have the structure erected in France. * Initially the idea of the Eiffel Tower was met with disdain by many members of the public who, probably influenced by the fact that Barcelona had rejected idea...

...been conflicts, battles and even wars, between families, clans and nations over religion. Religion has had a hand in changing the face of this world for millions of years and a hand in the development of nations. Religion has been and still is one of the most controversial subjects known to man. Paleolithic cave art was closely linked to the ‘conceptual discovery’ of the symbolic and religious world of primitive peoples. This denied any hint of symbolic and intellectual complexity among hunter-gatherers, made it impossible to fit such art within a ‘savage’ society. It was only when this idea of progress became more flexible, in parallel with the discovery and more precise definition of the symbolic–religious world of primitive people, that the prehistoric chronology of the parietal depictions could be accepted. (Eduardo Palacio-Perez, 2010) Prehistorians defined the decorated objects, as crafts, a ‘lesser art’ aimed at decoration, characteristic of traditional and primitive societies, in contrast with the ‘fine arts’ associated with the expression of the aesthetic ideals of civilized mankind. Clearly, with such a restricted conception of Paleolithic art, there was no room for the parietal depictions. However, does the key for the recognition of the age of cave art lie in the discovery of the religious and symbolic world of primitive people? Is there a direct correlation between the acceptance of parietal art and the generalization of the concepts of animism, totemic and sympathetic...

...Danube discovered that the Romans were not well equipped to fight wars on two fronts. When the emperor, that is, was preoccupied with a war against the Parthians in Mesopotamia, the Roman frontier along and beyond the Danube was poorly defended, and the barbarians could make raids deep into the Roman provinces. Despite the danger of wars on two fronts, the Roman empire was able to manage well enough from the 160s until 235, when the decline became precipitous, and brought with it radical economic, cultural and religious changes. This chapter, therefore, will look at the empire in its relatively golden period, from the first century until the death of Alexander Severus, the last of the Severi, in 235. The classes This was a stratified, hierarchical society in all ways. In civic status the top of the pyramid was the emperor, followed by Roman provincial governors, senators and other officials, then by the local gentry, and next by the rank and file of Roman citizens. Of all the free men in the empire, only about a third ranked as Roman citizens. Right behind the Romans were the Hellenes (in the Greek-speaking eastern provinces the Hellenes were enrolled as such in the municipal census), then came Judaeans, and finally the other barbarians. So in Alexandria an “Egyptian” had fewer privileges than Judaeans and Hellenes, and far fewer than Romans. This hierarchy was illustrated, as we have seen in Chapter Five, by the difficulties Pliny encountered in promoting his Egyptian physician...
