Imperial Rome

This is an image of a Triumphal Arch in Rome. Triumphal Arches were built to honor the deceased that have fought in major battles.
This particular Arch is the Arch of Titus and was built by Emperor Dominitian shortly after his brothers death (Titus) in the battle of Jerusalum.

This photograph was taken of a Insula. Insula is the word meaning multi-storey building or apartment.
The Insula in this photograph isnt unlike the Apartments we see in society today. The similar multi storey element is still present in our architecture.

This is a typical photograph of the Colliseum in Rome, Italy.
The Colliseum was a theatre used as a games arena for the Emperor and other followers to watch gladiators in battle.
The Colliseum still stands today.
