WorldNet: Israel contributions in art and architecture, technology and science, literature and reasons for the decline and fall of the roman empire. Links to other roman sites. http://worldnetva.pwnet.org/israel2/subjects/ancient.htm
Extractions: By Jason Turner, Jane Jones, and Ronni Cook The texture of the historical fabric in Israel is richly woven with the influence of the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Since the Romans borrowed freely from the culture of the Greeks, the cities constructed by these conquerors during their occupation reflect not only the Roman arches and designs, but the classical styles, proportions, and balance of the typical Greek temple. One of the core concepts in any history curriculum is for students to discover how migration, trade, and occupation changed the lifestyle of a culture and affected the daily life of an ancient people. How much change occurred in Israel as a result of migration and trade? Why did the Romans build such elaborate sites in a state they conquered? What stories do the remaining artifacts and buildings tell historians about how people lived? Virginia's Standards of Learning have major concepts identified to focus teachers' curriculum efforts on teaching information to answer those questions. This helps students understand how our culture has been affected by the past. Israel is the perfect setting for teachers to use to demonstrate these major threads because the country is filled with archaeological sites. Because Israel blends the past and the present in a unique preservation of three major religions, lessons from this region show cause and effect in a wonderfully immediate setting. SOL Correlations:

Extractions: By William R Hoppé The earliest stirrings of the Renaissance period were recorded by Boccacio in 1348 in his "Third Day of the Decameron" with his vivid description of the garden at the Villa Palmieri which he reports as having featured arbors, pergolas, formal parterres with geometrically designed flower beds and a central fountain made of white marble Not long after Boccacio, Pietro de Crescenzi in a work entitled "Ruralia commoda", writes about the design of gardens and advises that small orchards of fruit trees and small herb and vegetable plots have square borders planted with scented herbs, that all paths should be of grass, that the gardens be surrounded by hedges and walls, that they should contain vined pergolas and have, at their centers, a "lawn" and, if possible, a fountain as well Parenthetically, it should be noted that the Renaissance took its own sweet time being born

Extractions: Print entire article Pompeii today Many modern visitors see Pompeii as merely a collection of ruined buildings, and find it difficult to believe that in AD 79 the streets, houses, public buildings were full of life. They don't realise that many parts of the ancient town were uncovered more than two centuries ago, and that inadequate technology and debatable methods were used in the excavations, especially when the first works were carried out. 'Today the biggest danger for the old town is the increasing number of visitors ...' They don't recognise what a miracle it is that buildings that were originally erected to last for only a few decades, and that even on that basis would have required frequent upkeep, are still in existence - and able to tell us something of the life that was lived within them. Today the biggest danger for the old town is the increasing number of visitors, who often do not understand that they are touching, creeping, walking along, an open air museum, which requires much respect and attention.

Roman Theatres And Amphtheatres As A Model For The London Playhouses with the audience to form one architectural unit Following the conversion of the roman empire to Christianity, the are labeled with names from the roman theatre http://www.pricejb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Rome/Rome2.htm
Extractions: ROMAN THEATRES AND AMPHITHEATRES AS A MODEL FOR THE LONDON PLAYHOUSES 1. INTRODUCTION The idea that the theatrical architecture of Elizabethan and Jacobean London owed something to the example of the ancients is a suggestion we first find in the diary of Dutch traveller Johannes de Witt. Writing in 1596 and having visited The Swan playhouse, as well as three other theatres, he commented on its 'outstanding' appearance, its 'wooden pillars which, by their painted marble colour, can deceive even the most acute observers' and suggested that 'its form seems to bear the appearance of a Roman work'. This seems to offer an important connection between the English Renaissance and the classical world. This idea is considered in more depth below, under the following headings: Please click any picture for a fuller view. 2. ANCIENT ROMAN THEATRE 2.1 THE GREEK INHERITANCE Greece is commonly accepted as the originator of theatrical performance, a form of performance where human fate rather than religious ritual lay at the centre of the action, giving it what may be termed 'a humanist perspective'.
