Keystones These were the last keys to be placed in the forming of an arch.

Barrel Vault The barrel vault is the simplest form of a vault: effectively a series of arches placed side by side, i.e., one after another.

Groin Vault A groin vault or groined vault (also sometimes known as a double barrel vault or cross vault) is produced by the intersection at right angles of two barrel vaults. The word "groin" refers to the edge between the intersecting vaults.

Dome Vault A dome which is surrounded on four sides by vaulted arches.

Pont du Gard 1 st Century A.D. Aqueduct Nimes, France

Pont Du Gard Facts:  Was angled on a very slight slope to allow the water to run down  The cement used in production of many Roman buildings is still not matched today  Carried freshwater from the Alps to cities in the Roman Empire  This resulted in toilets, public baths, and better sanitation (not matched again until the late period of the industrial revolution in the late 1800’s)  Also used as a bridge for Roman soldiers and citizens (“all roads lead to Rome”)  This allowed easy access throughout the Roman Empire and quick access for troops to reach areas under threat  Originally the Romans used terra cotta tiles to line the aqueducts, but they switched to lead which resulted in many health issues

Colosseum Flavian Amphitheatre AD Rome, Italy

The tiered system was based on social class, with the elite near the bottom and the poorer citizens near the top (sound familiar?) Uses: -Gladiator games -Mock naval battles -Animal Hunts -Executions

 It took ten years to build  It is the size of a modern day football stadium  Had a retractable roof to protect the crowd from sun or rain  Sand was spread across the fighting floor to soak up blood from people and animals  Dead gladiators, slaves, and animals would be taken out through the Libitinarian Gate, named after the funeral god Libitina  The floor was flooded and mock naval battles were re-enacted  Roughly 50,000 spectators could watch the entertainment (that’s how many people the skydome holds)  The Ionic and Corinthian Column types adorn the façade of the colosseum  Animals, slaves, gladiators, and many workers were hidden below in a maze of rooms and cells  Emperor Trajan hosted Gladiatorial games lasting over 100 days, consisting of 10,000 men and 11,000 animals  Some animals became extinct in southern Europe due to these games (wolves, bears, lions, leopards) Colosseum Facts: m=QBVR&pq=gladiator+scene+with+tigers&sc=0-16&sp=- 1&sk=#view=detail&mid=A6ED65C2E0AADBDBAD89A6ED65C2E0AADBDB AD89www.bing.com/videos/search?q=gladiator+scene+with+tigers&qs=n&for m=QBVR&pq=gladiator+scene+with+tigers&sc=0-16&sp

Arch of Constantine AD Rome, Italy

Arch of Constatine Facts:  Considered a “triumphal Arch”, this arch commemorated the arrival of Emperor Constantine to Rome.  He had united the Eastern and Western Empires into one after a brief power struggle with his brother-in-law  The proportion is a little off in the relief sculptures to fit the small scenes depicted in them  The medallion sculptures were taken from other monuments at the time to honour past Emperors (Marcus Aurilius, Hadrian, and Trajan)  Constantine was the first Christian Emperor of Rome
