    I'm from Brescia, since I was a baby I've always been amazed by the tempio capitolino, it is a shame that this temple isn't know all over the world.
    Love from italy

      diciamo che neanche dagli italiani stessi Brescia viene considerata veramente una città d'arte, anche se sono d'accordo che è una falsa idea (basta pensare al complesso di Santa Giulia). Molte città sono disprezzate in Italia, pur possedendo vere chicche (ad esempio in Umbria Terni e Foligno hanno dei forti punti di interesse)

    I stumbled on this place looking for a lunch spot on the way to Verona… so impressive. We had the museum and basement to ourselves.. a rare treat. I even enjoyed the sound and light show with the bees! So exciting and rare to see Republic era temples and artefacts in such
    condition.

    Its an important note for any tourist to roman sites, that many might not know. When reconstructing historic monuments (especially in the finance starved italy after ww2), partly to distinguish between original parts and reconstructed sections, like in this temples pillars, modern brick of modern sizes is used to semirecreate the pillars, but avoid tricking tourists and archaeologists to come. Minor work on frescos often leaves a mottled effect. Again, so as to complete the image, but clearly differentiate renovations from the original.
    At the start of any visit this seems odd and distracting, but your eye quickly adjusts and you also get a massive apreciation of the skills of the conservators.

      Earliest artistic depictions of the trinity were found in Greece and Anatolia so most likely not but I can see the symbolism of building a large church in the vicinity.

    First of all I'd say this temple is quite completely reconstructed. The best preserved temple in Italy is without a doubt the Pantheon. Other temples haven't been reconstructed and are partially but well preserved, like the so-called Temple of Minerva at Assisi, the Temple of Portunus at Rome, the temples at the acropolis of Tivoli, or the temple of San Gregorio Magno at Ascoli Piceno.

    🇮🇹🤓BRIXIA - ANCIENT BRESCIA (google translate)
    The oldest traces of the settlement of Brescia, in Latin Brixia, from the toponymic root (brik- brig= high ground) due to the Cidneo hill, date back to the end of the 4th millennium BC, in the Copper Age, discovered on the outskirts of Brescia.
    In the 5th century BC the city became a commercial link between the Greek and Etruscan world and the transalpine one.
    Between the 3rd and 1st century BC, as Pliny, Livy, Polybius and Strabo testify, the ancient city became the most important center of the Cenománi (a Celtic tribe), caput Cenomanorum, traces of which remain under the Roman public area.
    Polybius narrates that in 225 BC, the Cenománi, together with the Veneti, tightened an alliance with the Romans, already close to the war against the Gauls, obtaining their permission to extend up to the Adda to the detriment of the Insubres to the west.
    The Romans stationed their veterans in the colonies of Piacenza and Cremona in 218, which the Cenománi perceived as an invasion and declared war on Rome in 201, but they were defeated in 197 BC In 194 BC they again made an alliance with Rome which he gave them the title of Socii Foederati.
    From the 2nd century BC the process of Romanisation began, with the construction of roads linking Rome to the north, including via Emilia and via Postumia.
    In 89 BC, with the Lex Pompeia de Gallia Citeriore and the granting of Latin law (ius Latii), Brescia had its first urban layout, with the forum, dominated to the north by the late republican sanctuary.
    It had the most important sacred area in northern Italy, from the end of the 1st century. BC, with the first of the three centuriations of the Brescia area.
    Between 49 and 42 BC, Brescia became a Municipium Romanum and with the emperor Augustus, between 27 and 8 BC, it received the organization of colony with the official title of Colonia Civica Augusta Brixia, included in the X Regio (Venetia et Histria), transforming itself in the urban planning, in the technique and in the beauty of public and private buildings, in a small Urbe.
    Also in the Augustan age, a wall was created around the hill, together with the public aqueduct.
    The Alpine wars of 16 BC aggregated Valsabbia, the Giudicarie, the lower Sarca, the western shores of Garda and Valcamonica to Brescia, the latter however until the middle of the 1st century AD, when it became an autonomous Res Publica with enrollment in the tribus Quirina.
    With the victory of Vespasian at Betriacum, near Cremona, in 69 AD, the monumental center of the city was restructured and embellished with the construction of a Capitolium above the previous sanctuary, a wider and shorter forum than the previous one from the Augustan age and the basilica.
    At the end of the 2nd century, to the east of the capitolium, the theater was built, one of the largest in the X Regio after Verona and Pula. In the 4th century numerous Christian churches were erected above the pagan temples and centres, taking advantage of their building and architectural material.
    Thus the Centro do Brixia was demolished by moving it from Piazza del Foro, symbol of the pagan city, to Piazza del Duomo, now Paul VI, a medieval Christian center with the cathedrals of San Pietro de Dom and Santa Maria Maggiore and the baptistery of San Giovanni.
    Between the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 6th AD the Goths settled in the city and, starting from 569 AD, the Longobards.

    @Stelios.Posantzis Год назад +1

    Hmmm... I'm not sure whether the monument here is the original temple or the rebuild/restoration. I find a lot of these 19th century restorations simply horrid: they were actually rebuilds. Nevertheless we owe the existence of archaeology to those initial attempts just as we owe modern medicine to those early attempts. Too bad the early archaeologists got their hands on the very best sites first. Maybe a combination of lack of humility and the desperate need to preserve prominent sites from further decay and continued unabated looting was to blame. I suppose we should be thankful to them we still have some parts of the original monuments preserved thanks to their efforts. In this occasion though, the choices of restoration and rebuilding materials, the use of the restored temple as a museum as well as the use of the salvaged remains are not my favourite - quite far from it. Probably the choice of rebuilding materials was dictated in large part by cost.

    Love your presentation! However, your speech is difficult to understand at times, because you unfortunately tend to rush through certain words now and then. It's not that you have a 'foreign accent' (you don't); it's simply that (apparently) nobody these days is teaching young people proper elocution. (In other words, you're hardly alone in this. ... 😞 ) The best, well-meant advice I can give you is, please try to slow down, and imagine at all times that you're speaking SLOOOOOWWWWWLY so that a group of non-native English-speakers will be able to understand you better. In other words, video presentations like this *cannot* be made, using a natural, normal, conversational speed of talking. It just doesn't work. One has to use a mode of speech specifically made for public presentations, which is to say, considerably slowed down, with pauses and rising tones now and then for emphasis. If there is still a 'Toastmasters' group meeting anywhere near you, you should consider joining and attending their meetings. Their entire purpose is to help people learn better public speaking. Best wishes!
