Document Summary

Two places in the south of france that claim to be the most roman. The maison carr is best surviving building from antiquity because it was turned into a church when christianity became prominent: became a civic building after the revolution, now it"s a museum. Amphitheater of nimes: no one knows when it was built, still in use today, used for bull fights. Kept the original inscription even though it was renovated. Rotunda was completed by a mathematician: it"s as wide (diameter) as it is tall. Remains as a church, st. mary and the martyrs: because it became a church, it could survive because it is sacrilege to take pieces. Perhaps to have a new resting place for the emperors it was built. Became burial site for emperors until caracalla. He was always close with plotina: she was the widow of trajan, she was the reason he became emperor.
