Comparing Roman Pantheon And Hagia Sophia

How did Christianity influence art, politics, and architecture during the Byzantine Empire? Introduction: In 395, Roman leaders split the empire due to the challenge to communicate between the east and west. Once the Roman empire split, the eastern half of the former Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire and flourished.

In the Holy world, everything has significance in relation to God. There’s no such thing as just plain decoration. Every piece of art and object are perceived as ornaments, which adds symbolism and life to the world. Two of the most magnificent masterpieces, still standing today, representing the Holy world, are the Hagia Sophia, also known as the “Holy Wisdom”, and the Dome of the Rock, dominating the Temple Mount on the holiest site of Jerusalem. They both exemplify the commitment and loyalty of the people to their Holy leader in the world of endless happiness.

It is important to look at the ancient buildings especially the Pantheon and Hagia Sophia microscopically, these will help us to find out about their similarities and differences as two ancient buildings transformed the architectural industry in Ancient Rome and Turkey. To start with, it is important to arrive at what the Pantheon and Hagia Sophia are;

The Roman Empire is credited with the development of many great achievements. These achievements can still be seen in Rome and throughout the world. The Romans are well known for their aqueduct system and huge colosseum that are still standing today. These monumental building feats would not have been created without the use and knowledge of many different techniques. The use of cement was one of the technologies employed to build these large structures. The utilization of arches was another. Many people associate the idea of arches with the Romans. However, they were not the first people to utilize arches. This paper will concentrate on why the Romans were credited with developing the arch; what they did to improve previous cultures use of arches; and how the Romans used arches to create massive structures that are still standing today.

For this weeks assignment we were asked to compare two type of laws. Throughout this paper I will briefly discuss the Hammurabi code, The Torah (Hebrew law) and compare the two. The law set forth in the Torah to the Law Code Hammurabi have similarities and differences that ranges from the structure of the two laws to their beliefs and how they handle their consequences for a crime.

The ancient Roman's are known for many things; roads, aqueducts, newspaper, arches and even concrete! I was surprised to learn they made concrete, I had always knew them for their architectural design and style! That's right, the very concrete we still use to this day, give or take a few changes. Although the Roman's are known for their arches, they actually were not the first ones to create the foundation! Now, I will share the development of both, concrete and the arch, and show the importance in the life of an ancient Roman, and show the results of their use.

The history of their architecture runs virtually in step with the history of their empire to an extent. As the Empire expanded so did the architecture, and as Romans became more magnificent their architecture followed. Roman architecture began as a form of worship. The first Roman architects were the ancient priests and dwellers who made areas of sacrifice and worship for their gods. At first, their homes were simple huts but as they grew smarter and more aware of their surroundings, making the building more complex than ever. So, like many arts, Roman architecture’s roots are embedded in the worshiping paid in religion. The Romans were, of course, not the first to practice many of their building philosophies. However, they built like no other society before them. Their methods showed and proved, efficiency and sophistication to construct a whole new look. With the rise of the Romans and the everlasting hail of Caesar after Caesar and Emperor after Emperor, Roman architecture expanded and influenced building over the world. Unlike the Empire, though, Roman design did not die at the hands of the Germanic’s, or rather at the hands of self-destruction; it continued to expand and play a part in every major style throughout history. Even through its empire’s own defeat, architecture has stood as an everlasting symbol of what Rome once was, and what the rest of the world is today. , Roman architecture cannot be looked at as a small period or cultural event, for it lives on today through the

During the 1930’s and the 1960’s discrimination against blacks was popular. There is discrimination everywhere for almost everything, even today, but not as much as there used to be. In To Kill A Mockingbird and The Help both Scout and Skeeter see and experience discrimination. Scout sees discrimination during the Tom Robinson case, and she experiences it when she is told to act like a girl. Skeeter experiences discrimination when people are shocked she finished college and got a job, instead of getting married.

In ancient Rome, architecture and engineering were highly regarded. It contributed much to Rome’s development, power, as well as the longevity of such an immense and substantial empire. Architecture displayed an immense amount of workmanship as well as innovation. This is seen through Rome engineers as they created the concept of concrete, constructed the famous Roman aqueducts, and the luxurious Roman baths. Roman’s were clearly superior engineers compared to their competitors because Roman engineers developed new and innovative concepts that were never introduced before, therefore contributing to the success of the Roman Empire.

President Obama signed in a law, known as the 21st Century Cures Act, on December 13, 2016. The goal of the Cures Act is to decrease the administrative burdens, encourage innovation, and to enhance America’s healthcare field. Lobbying over this bill has been strong between the two political parties. Ultimately, there was bipartisan support for the bill. One part of this Act is aimed at speeding up research review and Institutional Review Board flexibility. To help avoid unnecessary duplications and delays, the Cures Act made it a requirement for the Department of Human Resources and the Food and Drug Administration to coordinate their human research regulations within three years of the law’s enactment. Early versions of the bill included

As the saying goes “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” however long it took to build the capital, the days, months, years, centuries of work can be viewed as a long lasting landmark which paved the way for new and challenging architecture to come (How Roman architecture influenced modern architecture [sa]). According to Tony Rook (2013: [sp] ch.2) the typical Roman temple shows the Etruscan tradition combined with the Greek one. Although some of their premature concepts were acquired from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, Roman architects transformed the body of architecture for all time to come, offering buildings and structures that has never been before, along the side of public buildings and infrastructure that could be used by

The Romans were extraordinary builders and professional civil engineers, and their flourishing civilization formed developments in technology, culture and architecture that endured for centuries. Ancient Rome had several qualities that made their civilization successful but most importantly through the advancements of technology and innovations that flourished throughout the ages that are still used in today’s society. The legacy lives through the inventions of the aqueducts, concrete, newspapers, battlefield surgery, bound books, roads and highways, roman arches, and the twelve tables. All of these inventions and innovations served as their own individual purpose that made the civilization boundless which is why I interested in this research topic.

Architecture of the ancient Roman Empire is one of the most fascinating of all time. The city of Rome once housed more than one million residents. The Romans made great use of many architectural shapes like arches and columns. Using these they were able to build monstrous buildings of worship, entertainment and other services. The one building that comes in mind over the centuries, when you think of Rome is The Amphitheatrum Flavium or The Coloseum.

Many centuries before the birth of Christ, the city of Rome grew, prospered, and developed into a thriving Republic. As in most cultures, Rome's buildings became more elaborate and impressive. They developed fantastic building technologies and ideas. The feats of Roman engineers were groundbreaking, and many structures built by this culture still stand today. With knowledge borrowed from the Greeks, Rome made impressive architectural achievements, these were namely major attributes of buildings, colossal structures, and a legacy that would influence later buildings (Cornell and Matthews 11).

The Roman Empire left a legacy that still continues to affect people with modern technology. The Romans’ technology might have not been as advanced as modern technology today, but they still managed to caused great impact over the ancient people. The Roman Empire’s inventions and innovations such as indoor plumbing, aqueducts, and construction of roads and buildings with their fast drying will always be notable attention because they managed to acquire extensive progress without modern methods. However, the Romans were not restricted to new inventions, they also managed to improve the existing fields of medicine, law, government and warfare.
