Document Summary
Arch of septimius severus at leptis magna, early 3rd century ad. Emperors are shown in full frontal view everyone else is only partially frontal. Depends on the kind of building, rich building or not, area dwelled by slaves or not. Rich houses and rich public building to distinguish between levels or housing was to look at how they are decorated. Seeing attire of the hunters here can immediately date it. Girls training: look very nice , weight training etc, different colours of the tesserae to define the body but also to give idea to volume and shades. Gregory the great: lombards come in from north and settled in parts of central and southern italy, many buildings started collapsing and many people stopped caring or something. Marcus aurelius bronze statue has been preserved because something about constantine. Can still see the inscription, porch pillars etc. Legacy of rome not just found in italy, or just the pope etc.
