6.  What parts of the roman temple or other elements used in roman architecture can you find that were used to make the colosseum?

7.  When Vespasian became the new Roman Emperor in 69AD, He tore down a lot of Nero's golden house and made the land into a public park.  He also melted down Nero's giant gold statue, the Colossus, and used the gold from it to pay for the construction of a new amphitheater where the statue had been.  The amphitheater was called the Colosseum, after the statue. (But officially its name was the Flavian Amphitheater).  The Colosseum was a place where a lot of people could sit and watch entertainment.  The entertainment was mostly people killing animals, or people killing each other. It was almost exactly like a football stadium today.  It was built of concrete and marble and limestone.

8. Here is a picture of Pantheon ( a roman temple) can you pick out the architectural parts used to make this?

9.  In the time of the Roman Emperor Augustus, about 10 BC, one of his generals, a man named Agrippa, built a temple in the middle of downtown Rome "to all the gods".  They got the name Pantheon because in Greek means pan= all, theon=of the gods  The picture on the last slide was actually the third temple made. ( the first two burned down)

10.  There are eight columns in the front  The dome was the largest dome ever built in the world up to that time - 43 meters in diameter (142 feet), and 43 meters from the floor to the top of the dome. ( for over 1000 years no other dome was built like this one)
