What is Roman Architecture and Sculpture Overview about?
Roman architecture pioneered the use of arches, vaults and domes to create large interior spaces without inner supports. The basilica was a widely imitated building type that featured a central nave and semicircular apses. The Colosseum in Rome seated 50,000 spectators and used different orders of columns, as well as arches, to rise to new heights. Pompeii was a luxurious resort town whose preservation under ash allowed its villas and intricate mosaics to be discovered 1,700 years later.
