Let’s look at the roman architecture that fascinates by the great and monumental constructions. But even more so, roman architecture served the great Roman Empire, its expansion and the concepts associated with it. The main Roman buildings aimed at the glory of the Roman Empire but integrate public buildings. Aqueducts, forums, arenas, coliseums, public baths, villas and towns.
Thus, Roman architecture introduces new concepts of construction and urbanism. The main Roman constructions also integrate new materials, new constructive solutions and new architectural elements.

the roman architecture and the great roman empire
In Classical Antiquity, Rome was a vast Empire with many territories, with a thirst of conquest that knew no boundaries. The Iberian Peninsula, Central Asia and North Africa were submitted to its supremacy.
Rome had been elevated to the rank of great power and considered a point of intersection of various conquered peoples and cultures, which the Romans knew well how to keep united. Consequently, their art resulted from the diverse cultures of the people they conquered and reached its peak between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD, coincidentally almost in its entirety, under the rule of Caesar Augustus (adopted son of Julius Caesar). This was when the city was adorned with monuments and statuary that gave it the grandeur and pomp corresponding to the domain and power that the Romans exercised.
This empire had a profound influence throughout the Western civilization, in terms of language (Latin led to other Western languages), political and legal systems, and arts. During the rule of Caesar Augustus, peace and economic prosperity, provided by high achievements and a good government, allowed the Romans the enjoyment of free time. Public architecture was very important to the Romans. And as they prospered all over the Empire, the Romans constructed public baths, amphitheatres, theatres and circuses for the famous chariot races.
