I really need a couple of suggestions for great comprehensive Art/architecture- Illustration books of Rome and/or Florence-- if you have some suggestions it would be so helpful; the books can have a lot of pages and definite great photography, the price can be expensive -- the more comprehensive does not matter-- quality of photography, great historical detailed description is key! Thank you for any help you can be!
Near the place where I live in North Africa, a catacomb was discovered in the middle of nowhere. It was not known to where it is leading. I remember, as a kid, hearing that it leads to Al-Jam Colosseum, which is quit far, more than 25 Km. In the end its entrance was shut from the fear that kids would venture inside and not return.
That sounds amazing. Which city is this? Is it in Tunisia? I have been to a place near Rabat, Sale. Which was a Roman town. But before that a Phoenician settlement.
Mosaics with tesserae developed from the Ancient Greek practice of laying black and white pebble mosaics, a craft still widely practiced in modern Greece.
That`s simply not true. Look at Greek pottery, mosaics or frescos! Of course there is a problem of lacking sources, especially when it comes to paintings, but look at the frescoes found in the tomb of Philip II. of Macedon and then tell me that the Greeks where horrible at painting. The Greeks laid the foundation for all art forms the Romans later adapted, which shouldn`t be surprising because the Greeks literally became Romans during the span of the Empire. Pompeian frescos would have bean impossible without Hellenic craftsmanship. The majority of artists, which were seen as craftsmans in ancient times, were in fact Hellenes. @@carlobrotto7132
Almost every town and city mostly of USA and partially of South America has buildings ( mainly public buildings) that step entirely the Roman ,and only the Roman architecture, they have nothing of greek out of some reminiscent style. Out of religious temples none of greek buildings is worth to be even mentioned, science of architecture was created by Romans ( particularly by the greatest architect of ancient times Vitruvius Pollio) and not by the greeks that were crappy builders and even worse engineers ! The Romans wrote the rules & settlements of architecture that are valid and taught still today, the greeks have nothing to do with it !! The entire Washington DC was tought, planned, designed and built as feature of Rome upon Roman architecture issues ( Capitol Hill = Capitolium , Pennsylvania Avenue = Forum Imperialis , etc...). The capitol city of the US is a revival of Rome and Roman Empire, not even 1% of ancient Athens.

Ancient Roman culture was nearly a wholesale copying of that of the Greeks. It’s politically correct to emphasize the Etruscan contribution, but it’s de minimus compared to that of the Greeks.
Every town and city of the Americas has some architecture reminiscent of the GrecoRoman world.

Splendid, how about doing an episode on greek art?
Do you mean greek sculpture, the only art field the greeks were masters since as painters they were not even ordinary ??

Thanks for watching!
Only watching cuz my hw
I like ur concept, but a video of ‘encyclopaedic’ information invites a more mature, professional presentation style.
Hi! We're meant to appeal to a general audience, children/students included.
I live in Washington DC which has Roman-Greek architectural influences all over the place. The Capitol building itself, the National Archives, Jefferson Memorial; Lincoln Memorial after the Parthenon. With building height limits and expansive green space and parks it is amazingly open.
Yes , Nairobi national museum copied the roman poles
do you have insta?
Hi! Yes, we sure do. You can find us at @whenyclopedia, or just by typing in World History Encyclopedia.

The Coliseum was constructed by slaves, anyone wanna guess their ethnicity?
Roman slavery was NOT based on Ethniticy!!!!
I don't dispute that. Just saying, this one was of one particular group.
