EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD The Flavian Dynasty consisted of emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian (from CE). They were known for building some of Rome’s most notable monuments. Colosseum, CE. EARLY EMPIRE ROMAN

EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD When Vespasian became the Emperor of Rome in 69 A. D. he promised to make a difference. He did not want to live the rich life that Nero had. Vespasian tore down Nero's Golden House and turned the land into a public park. He also tore down Nero's giant gold statue called the Colossus. With the money from the statue's gold Vespasian built an amphitheater. He called it the Colosseum after the statue. The Colosseum was a large center for entertainment. It took ten years to build of marble and limestone. The Colosseum was the largest building of its kind. It could seat 45,000 people. This is where the Romans gathered to watch the gladiators. During the Colosseum's opening ceremonies in A.D. 80, events were held for 100 days in which hundreds of animals and 2,000 gladiators were killed.

EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD

Pont-du-Gard, Nimes, France 19 B.C. ROMAN AQUEDUCTS The Romans typically built aqueducts to serve any large city in their empire. The city of Rome itself, being the largest city, had the largest concentration of aqueducts, with water being supplied by eleven aqueducts constructed over a period of 500 years. There were approximately 300 miles of aqueducts, while only 29 of them were above ground. The aqueduct provided about one hundred gallons of water a day for the inhabitants of Nimes from a source some thirty miles away.

EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD Pont-du-Gard, Nimes, France 19 B.C.

EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD Arch of Titus, Rome, Italy, after A.D. 81 When Vespasian’s older son, Titus, died only two years after becoming emperor, his younger brother Domitian, took over. Domitian made this arch in Titus’s honor on the Sacred Way leading into the Republican Forum Romanum. This type of arch, the so-called triumphal arch, has a long history in Roman art and architecture, beginning in the second century B.C. and continuing even into the era of Christian Roman emperors. The Roman arches celebrated more than just military victories, as they often commemorated events such as building roads and bridges. This arch commemorates Titus’ sack of Jerusalem around 70 AD. This is the oldest arch of its kind.

EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD Spoils of Jerusalem, relief panel from the Arch of Titus, Rome, Italy, after A.D. 81 The scene depicts the triumphal parade down the Sacred Way after his return from the conquest of Judaea at the end of the Jewish Wars in 70 AD. This panel contains the depiction of the sacred seven-branched Menorah, from the Temple of Jerusalem. Missing in this relief is the classicism that was contained in the depictions of the Altar of Augustan Peace.

EARLY EMPIRE PERIOD Triumph of Titus, relief panel from the Arch of Titus, Rome, Italy, after A.D. 81 This scene depicts the actual triumphal procession with the toga-clad Titus in the chariot, but with the addition of allegorical figures--the winged Victory riding in the chariot with Titus who places a wreath on his head, the goddess leading the horses (identified as either Roma or Valor), and the semi-nude Genius of the People. Because the reliefs were deeply carved, some of the forward heads have broken off.

HIGH EMPIRE PERIOD Portrait bust of Hadrian as general, ca AD Hadrian was a connoisseur and lover of all the arts, as well as an author and architect. There are more existing portraits of Hadrian than of any other emperor except Augustus. Though he ruled Rome for more than 20 years, he is depicted in portraits as a mature adult who never ages. Hadrian’s portraits more closely resemble Kresilas’ portrait of Pericles than those of any Roman emperor before him, and no one doubts that his likenesses were inspired by Classical Greek statuary Hadrian wore a beard, a habit that, in its Roman context, must be viewed as a Greek affectation (an appearance or manner assumed or put on as a show or pretense, often to impress others). Beards then became the norm for all subsequent Roman emperors for more than a century and a half.

HIGH EMPIRE PERIOD Pantheon, Rome AD HIGH EMPIRE With the new Emperor Hadrian in power, work on a new temple dedicated to all the gods began. This temple became known as the Pantheon. Excluding the use of an eight Corinthian column facade, the temple was completely revolutionary for it’s time. The dome of the Pantheon steadily decreases in thickness from the base to the top. In the very middle there is an open “Oculus” that is used as a skylight, and the only lighting of the building. The “Oculus” measures 30 feet in diameter. This is the oldest domed building in the World that still has its original roof.

HIGH EMPIRE PERIOD From this indoor photo of the Pantheon you can see the carved panels as well as the intense light that the “Oculus” provides for the room. These decorative panels are called coffers. Pantheon, Rome, Italy AD Pantheon, Rome AD HIGH EMPIRE

HIGH EMPIRE PERIOD HADRIAN’S WALL During Hadrian’s reign, he ordered construction of a monumental stone wall to keep the ‘barbaric’ Scots and Picts from invading from the North. This 74-mile stretch across Northern England is known as Hadrian’s Wall. It was 8-10 feet wide and 20 feet tall, with a tower located at every mile mark. It was built in only about 6 years!

HIGH EMPIRE PERIOD Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, Rome, Italy 175 A.D. This larger-than-life guilded bronze equestrian statue was selected by Pope Paul III as the center piece for Michelangelo’s new design. Most ancient bronze statues were melted down for their metal value during the Middle Ages, but this one happened to have survived. Marcus possesses a superhuman grandeur and is much larger than any normal human would be in relation to his horse. He stretches out his right arm in a gesture that is both a greeting and an offer of clemency (an act that bestows or shows mercy toward another person over whom somebody has ultimate power) Some speculate that an enemy once cowered beneath the horse’s raised right foreleg begging Marcus for mercy. The statue conveys the awesome power of the godlike Roman emperor as ruler of the whole world.

HIGH EMPIRE PERIOD Mummy portrait of a man Faiyum, Egypt A.D Egyptians buried their dead in mummy cases. In Roman times, however, painted portraits on wood replaced the traditional stylized portrait masks. The man in this mummy painting, copying Marcus Aurelius, has long curly hair and a full beard. These paintings were probably painted when the subjects were still alive. They were used to trace the evolution of portrait painting after Mount Vesuvius erupted. Some aspects to note are the refined use of the brush and the spatula, soft and delicate modeling, and sensitive portrayal of the calm demeanor of its thoughtful subject.
