Pantheon's

Pantheons were a place where you could worship all gods. The point was since no one knew all gods that existed, you wouldn't mess up and worship gods that didn't actually exist. The normal entryway had three rows of Corinthian columns. Rome took Corinthian columns from Greece. The first Pantheon was most likely under Emperor Augustus's rule, unfortunately it was burned twice. The first one was by a terrible fire and the second one was struck by lightning. The first Pantheon was built in 27 BC. One feature that was particularly stunning was the dome shape on the inside. This idea was just one amazing part about Rome. - Aneesha

The Colosseum

The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre in Ancient Rome, is an architectural marvel built under the rule of Vespasian, and his successor, Titus. Modifications to the structure were made during the reign of Domitian. It was built for public entertainment, such as gladiator fights, sea battles, wild animal hunts, and public executions. Work on the Colosseum started in 72 AD, and was finished in 80 AD. It was built by 60,000 Jewish slaves. It was a four storey amphitheatre, and had the capacity for 50,000 spectators. When the Colosseum was built, it was able to be flooded with millions of gallons of water, for mock sea battles, and drained, whenever the Romans wanted. This shows how advanced Roman engineering was. The Colosseum was one of the great Roman achievements in the field of architect.

Romulus And Remus

According to legend, Romulus and Remus were the twin founders of Rome. Their mother, Rhea Silvia was killed when they were babies. The twins were saved by a servant who placed the two babies into a basket on the Tiber River. Tiberinus, the Tiber River god, calmed the waters, and the basket landed on the banks of the river. Romulus and Remus were found by a wolf, named Lupa, who took care of them. Eventually, they were discovered and cared for by a shepherd named Faustulus, and his wife, Acca Larentia. When Romulus and Remus grew up, they wanted to build a city. They argued on where to build the city, and decided to consult augury. Augury is a type of prophecy that involves counting birds. Remus saw 6 birds, and Romulus saw 12. Therefore, Romulus got to build the city where he wanted to. Remus made fun of one of Romulus’ ideas. At this point, the story gets murky. Remus either gets killed by the Roman gods for disrespecting Rome, or one of Romulus’ followers kills Remus, or as another legend says, Romulus himself kills Remus. Romulus mourns the loss of his brother. After Remus died, Romulus built the city and named it Rome, after himself. Romulus continued to rule as king, until he either disappeared, became a god, or got killed by the senate.-Anand

Constantine

Constantine’s father was one of Rome’s 4 rulers. This system made by Diocletian made it so there were 4 rulers. How it worked was there were 2 Augustus’s who were the senior leaders and two Caesar’s who were picked by the Augustus’s. When an Augustus passed away the Caesar he picked would be the new Augustus. Constantine became a military commander. When Constantine’s father passed away his soldiers wanted him to be the new Caesar. Severus was supposed to take that role. Eventually though Constantine and a man named Maxentius became the Caesar and Augustus of half the country. Maximiam, Maxentius’s father decided to capture a treasury in Arles, in which Constantine was in control of. He also declared himself Augustus so Constantine battled him. Maximiam ended up commiting suicide. Maxentius had all statues of Constantine in his area destroyed. They ended up having a battle at Milvian bridge and he drowned. The east Augustus, Licinius and Constantine were on good terms. Unfortunately wars between them broke out and Constantine won. He was now the sole ruler of Rome. He kept the names Augustus and Caesar but only his sons and nephews could have those roles. He wasn’t a bad emperor. When there were shortages he gave the poor food, money and clothes. In 325 he banned gladiator shows. He also made sure slave families wouldn’t be separated. He moved the capital to the East and it was called Constantinople. He was Christian and it later became Christianity became the official religion.

Cincinnatus- ANNIE D.

Cincinnatus was a dictator who became famous because of one action that showed true selflessness. Back when Cincinnatus was dictator dictators were chosen to serve as dictator for 6 months and then were forced to step down. All of the dictators before him would serve for the full 6 months even if the war had already ended. Cincinnatus was different from other dictators because after the war he was fighting in was over instead of being power-hungry and remaining dictator he chose to step down. He did this for the good of his people and his country. This made him special and made him famous for doing what is right, and acting with true integrity. He will always be one of the greatest role moddles ever.
