The Roman Architecture

[serrtaylor96]

we should all go back like this.. would be cool and very diffrent

[theend1245]

amazing ..you don't see ancient monuments like that anywhere else Europe

[SgtGumbo]

@theend1245 Yeah no. They exist everywhere. You only hear about the European ones cause you're probably of European descent. Google ancient ghanan ruins for an example.

Or google "pyramids". T_T

[theend1245]

@SgtGumbo you might have given a better example like the Great wall of china or Great Parthenon in Greece or Gates of Ishtar or Pyrmids of Ghiza or Petra...etc like you said there are plenty around the world but you give me fucking Ancient pyramids of Ghana ? wtf are you on Nigga ?

[artofcorfu]

The Egyptian influence is often left out in commentaries, without there know how none of this would have been possible.

[iLOVENATURE2011]

ah...the Colosseum where ancient Romans held their gladiatorial game. very nice. =)

[itsjeicedude]

So, I have this presentation on monday, about the Roman architecture and you just helped me big time! This is great :)

[insomniacgrace]

Indeed, this approach is considered reproductive, and sometimes it hinders scholars' understanding and ability to judge Roman buildings by Greek standards, particularly when relying solely on external appearances. Wow to A frame.

[JediaAssassin]

she said erect

[mrtundra45]

My Ancestors !

:)

[LaserBeam002]

I can't believe they are out there wearing hard hats as if they are at a giant construction site. What were they afraid would hit them? A bird flying overhead and taking a crap??? Still, I enjoyed the series.

[Computergeew]

Im the 50,000 viewer yay :P

[meltonclassics]

I am amazed at the resources they used and the thing they were able to build with what they had!

[vinzhell]

hmm.. so the romans inflated a giant balloon to build the pantheon?

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

...Were great, just think of how to build roads, aqueducts, baths, etc.. etc..

[TheGenocideScrolls]

Great video. I love ancient architecture.

[cbradley1391]

now how did they finely tune and position them into the right position? i doubt they raised those colums right in the perfect position without having needed any slight ajustment

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

.....should get a view of two thousand years ago and then you can tell if the Romans were bloodthirsty or not! The Assyrians, Babylonians, the same Macedonian or Spartan, Celts and so on. etc., were less, or I have to list what they really riprorevole towards women, children, old men hanging prisoners?

[ttproleague]

wow.....romans were bloody brilliant

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part final

...A fierce and proud citizen of Rome and ITALIAN!!

P.D.= Apart from the fact that Megas Alexandros, for us Romans (Alessandro Magnvs) went to India, let me know what he left to posterity so important and relevant!

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part six

.....Therefore, before you speak ill of Rome, or of the same great and divine GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR, as well as read up if you are not the place, the first thing to do is feed the brain first and then, starting up the language or limit if this were not enough, rinse your mouth with muriatic acid. .......

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part five

......quick to act, the ability to combine caution and contempt of danger, the ability to surprise the enemy but also his own soldiers, the first to throw into the fray, sharing with them the hardships and dangers. I conclude that the CAESAR; is in many languages as a synonym for commander, leader the German Kaiser, the Russian Czar and the Persian shah have the same root as the name of CAESAR....

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part four

......CAESAR is lord of his thousand faces, generous and unyielding, calculating and brotherly love, passionate and controlled, is in the Gallic countryside to an end and an end to his talents. If, up to that event, CAESAR had not completed actions memorable ships in part on the sly and Gallia is transformed within a year, something that will forever change the destiny of men and most of Europe. Reading the Gallic Wars you hear the brilliance, the firmness of CAESAR,.......

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part three

...found already in favorite books. While the Macedonian loved the Iliad, the heroic and glorious surge of Achilles CAESAR had the same feelings towards the Odyssey, to the relentless and cunning Odysseus. CAESAR knew how to be frugal, sleeping on the ground to leave the only place to friends, eating little regardless of the sophistication of the plate, but only for conviviality. There were no missing, however, by squanderer, money and women....

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part two

...I could not build roads, water pipes and sewers see (which in modern times, were made to the 800’). The Romans gave freedom of worship, respect the ideas of others, provided they respect the laws of Rome. CAESAR in Spain, at 33, seeing the statue of Alexander the Great wept because at his age that he had conquered the world, while he had not done anything important. But there was a fundamental difference between CAESAR and Alexander,....

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Part one

For andonaki2 First, the Latin language, the one who spoke the ancient Romans, is not of Greek origin, but rather an Indo-European language belonging to the group of Latin-Faliscan (there were a group of historically attested Indo-European languages in the Italian region and inserted, along with Osco-Umbrian languages, among the Italic languages. Secondly, the Greeks, the great philosophers, mathematicians, and more,..

[celticsfan47]

When i saw the description of this video it looked similar to wikipedia so i checked nd u copied nd pasted that info u didnt use your "knowledge" in writing that...so any1 could just go to wikipedia instead to get more info dont waste your time

[Jasy1988able]

i love roman architecture

[EdM021]

Brilliant 'A' frame crane! Now I know how they lifted condemned criminals to their crucifixion when the main post was simply too tall for the executioners to lift to solely with their own bodies.

[18laxplayer]

One person doesnt like Roman Architecture

[bottomlands]

@18laxplayer More likely they don't like lame docs. about it.

[ngatangs22]

The pantheon is Corinthian! ..Damn i haven't been reading fletcher's books, i Thought they were composite.

[MKcwalk]

It's things like this that got me into architecture.

[TheFederalEurope]

Would that dome have been quite fragile after one night of setting?

[Blackadder75]

The Romans were 1000, sometimes 1500-1800 years ahead of their time. No that's not right, it WAS their time.. It's just that it took mankind that long to reach their level of civilisation again.

[JLiMAportugal]

nice

[GRelated420]

Wow that's genious...and rome began way before 30bc mragustus wannabe lol try watching a few more youtube videos before you make a stupid statement.

[unapologeticmind]

@GRelated420 Historians usually make a distinction between the Roman Republic when Rome was a democatic republic and the Roman Empire which began with Julius Ceasar or his nephew Augustus (depending on whether you count Julius Ceasar as an emperor or not). It's not a big deal really, but many use the two terms (republic and empire) intermittedly while others don't, thus the confusion...

[kittycatty1231]

how do u save it to your actual computer?!

[Trinacria1973]

Dont forget before Rome became an Empire it was a Republic for almost 500 years. And before the Republic it was a Kingdom!

[ashimatya]

as per my wish, i want to b an architecture. just now i am 16 years old.. but my will of being it carries me here... i can say that this is the peculiar peice of architect in this world..

[jasbongy]

Really beautiful and knowldgable video.

Thanks lahor2vancouver ji for sharing.

5****************Regards. Sarla.

[VxValerio]

the opus caementicium is the base of roman architecture..well explained in this video!

[rageatm4life]

most of their ideas came form the greeks and phoenicians

[JusPrimaeNoctis2]

@rageatm4life

Despite the fact that Greeks gave a great contribute to the developing of architecture at the beginning, they have nothing to do with the developing of arch or the cupola or the introduction of the beton or cement, without whom greeks or phoenicians couldn't build such complex structures as aqueducts, the Pantheon, or the Colosseo, and what about the sewerage system or the fluent water in the domus that implicate a deep knowledge of engineering? Study more man.

[rageatm4life]

@JusPrimaeNoctis2 i said most i didnt specify. appreciate your comment but im not doing this subject anymore

[gamefreak771]

Romans where very smart and i think there awesome. the things they did was way past there time

[birchnc]

Fantastic.

[MrAugustus88]

The Roman empire was the greatest empire ever. It began in 30bc by the semi divine Augustus.

[TitusLabienus]

Most of the achievements of the Roman Empire, comes from the Republic period witch starts 509 BC and ends 27 BC.

[Phaetheius]

@TitusLabienus I don't believe that for a second. Didn't the Roman civil wars happen in that period? and isn't it true that Rome never really recovered from it? Rome's greatest buildings were composed during the empire period, much terriortiy was also conquerored during that period, and the Roman golden age was one of the many great achievements that happened during the Empire era. "I found Rome built of bricks, and I leave her clothed in marble" - Emperor Octavian Augustus

[Templemister]

@TitusLabienus W-w-w-wrong.

[Knight222able]

@MrAugustus88 Why Westerns are in denial ? when it comes to history, The Caliphate Empire was more successful than the Roman?

The Caliphate broke the records because it was established so fast so strong so indepenad and with lesser Elements!

[csrtitus]

Wow that is amazing how they could come up with that "A" frame crane. They were not stupid people.

[sweetrottweiler]

@csrtitus Yes! But it is sad that these days people talk shit about italians.
