Art is the expression of creativity. It can be through paintings or even sculptures. Art can express beauty, emotional power, or it can tell a story. The Romans were heavily inspired by the Greeks.

This picture depicts lion hunting on the left. On the right it shows someone being sacrificed, showing a contrast of styles. The arch was located between the Colosseum and Palatine hill. The arch was made for Constantine victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. The arch is 21 m high, 25.9 m wide and 7.4 m deep. It has three archways, the central one being 11.5 m high and 6.5 m wide and the lateral archways 7.4 m by 3.4 m each.

Engineering is the branch that describes the uses of the design, building, and use of machinery. We often engineer to achieve goals. For example, we engineered the bridge to cross terrain which would be hard to cross.

A group that governs a community.  It is a system of social control under which the right to make laws, and the right to enforce them.  They are organized as a particular group in society. We can see the impact of the Roman Empire in our society today, because we have the government like theirs as well. Like the legislative, judicial, and executive government. This picture shows how the Roman government used to gather around and have important discussions.

The Romans were extremely smart, which made them capable of building extremely large buildings. The Romans built the pantheon, the    Colosseum, the mastering of the arch, domes, roads, and one of the greatest man-made substances-concrete.

The citizens of Rome voted for two consuls, and were elected to serve for one year.  Consuls were supposed to govern Rome.  They both had to agree on all decisions, and they were not allowed to be consuls again for 10 years. This picture resembles the two consuls that were governing Rome. Their government is like ours today, because the government has the power to make laws, rules, collect taxes, and print money.

The arch is one of the strongest shapes in the world. Otherwise used in the Colosseum, the arch was implemented almost everywhere in the empire. You can still see the strength of the arch, as the arches in the Colosseum still stand after 2000 years. Another example of the strength of the arch is the Arch of Constantine, still standing today.

The Interior of the Pantheon is created by using a dome. This dome, however, was layered with lighter and lighter concrete as it was built. Domes are seen all over the world. Some famous domes are the Domes of the Taj Mahal, US Capitol, and St. Paul's Cathedral.

In Ancient Rome, Man-Made roads were built for soldiers to march on. These roads were permanent so it would be easier for soldiers to travel. Roads also promoted the ability to travel and communicate throughout the vast society. This would help Roman who travel for trading or backup troops for wars.

One of the greatest achievements of humans, this is one invention that changed how we live. Concrete is very strong, and is used in buildings, bridges, arches, domes, and man other uses. Arches were made of concrete to make them even stronger. Concrete can be found in buildings like the Burj Khalifa, White House, and the Empire State Building.

This is a full length statue of Augustus Cesar, the first Roman emperor. The marble statue stands 2.08 meters tall and weighs 1,000 kg. Carved by expert Greek sculptors, the statue is assumed to be a copy of a lost bronze original displayed in Rome. During his lifetime, Augustus did not wish to be depicted as a god, but this statue has many references to the emperor's "divine nature". The small Cupid (son of Venus) at his feet (riding on a dolphin, Venus's patron animal) is a reference to the claim that his family descended from the goddess Venus, made by both Augustus and by his great uncle Julius Cesar.

We used the Romans' invention GREATLY. Because of the Romans' Engineering achievements, we implemented their inventions into our era, like the dome of the US capitol, the roads of Eastvale improved from the Roman roads ,and the sidewalks of Los Angles made from concrete. Without the Romans, we would have to invent these discoveries by ourselves.

The citizens of Rome voted for a number of magistrates. It was the magistrates job to keep law and order and also to manage Rome’s financial affairs. When magistrates retired they became senators and attended the Senate.  Senate means the smaller upper assembly or group.  He was the lawgiver and judge.  Basically, one who conducts the court.  These pictures show what the magistrates dressed like, and him possibly giving speech of his future plans.  Their magistrates are like ours today, because today we have judges in our court and they have the responsibilities to sentence criminals.

Senators went to the Senate or state council to discuss important government issues. Senators were retired magistrates and knew a lot about the government of Rome. It was the job of the senate to give advice to the two consuls. When Rome had an Emperor the senate still gave advice on governing Rome and the Empire. This picture shows the consul speaking at a meeting maybe proposing a law. They are all discussing, and debating whether they should propose it to the Roman citizens. They may argue or agree on many things, but at the end they all come up with something and agree with it. We can see how the Roman Empire impacted out lives till today, because our government today comes together to talk about proposing a law and arguing at times. But at the end, the government comes up with something after all the debate.

Despite being damaged, the two main figures are easy to recognize. The portrait of Alexander is one of his most famous. The breastplate shows Medusa, the gorgon. He is portrayed sweeping into battle at the left, on his famous horse, Bucephalus and focusing his gaze on the Persian leader.Darius is shown in a chariot. He seems to be desperately commanding his frightened charioteer to flee the battle, while stretching out his hand either as a mute gesture to Alexander, or possibly after throwing a javelin.

The Romans were split into different categories.  There were Patricians, Plebeians and Slaves.  The Patricians lived in wealthy homes and had slaves do their work for them.  They were also allowed to go to the Assembly to vote because they were citizens.  The Plebeians were not as wealthy as the Patricians but they were still considered as citizens of Rome.  They were usually craftsmen or tradesmen and they worked for a living.  They were also allowed to go to the Assembly and vote like the Patricians.  Slaves did not have any rights, money, freedom, and were not citizens of Rome.  Since, they were not citizens of Rome that means they couldn't go to the Assembly and vote.  Patricians and Plebeians met at the Assembly and voted for consuls, tribunes and magistrates. Women and slaves were not allowed in the Assembly and could not vote.  This picture shows the Patricians, Plebeians, and slaves.  The Patricians wore wealthy clothes like on the right.  The plebeians wore decent clothes as well.  On the far left,  The slaves wore very plain clothes with just sandals.  These levels of the Romans is impacted to our modern world today because we have different levels like we have rich people, normal people, and people in poverty. But, the homeless people do not work like slaves or do labor for anyone.

Romans brought back large amounts of Greek art, sculpting heroes and gods. Today, our money has faces of presidents and such. We weren't the first ones to do that, the Romans were the first people to put people on their money. The Romans painted on portable panels, and today we have canvases. The Romans used paintings to create depth in a blank room, or for decoration. Roman painting achieved a high degree of naturalism through the artists' understanding of perspective and use of light and shade. The Romans painted many charming scenes from nature and portraits of children and beautiful young men and women. Religion, too, inspired their art.
