The passage discusses four potential topics for an assignment on cities: 1) an annotated bibliography on an ancient city in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus Valley, or Mesoamerica; 2) a paper on a European city established by Romans discussing its development during Roman and medieval periods; 3) an annotated bibliography on Berlin discussing its origins theories; or 4) a paper on the establishment and pre-1900 development of a North American colonial city.

The Romanist Theory suggests that some medieval towns were successors
Choose one of the following topics for Assignment #1: 1. Submit an annotated bibliography
about an ancient (pre-industrial) city established in either the Near East (Mesopotamia, the
Nile Valley, or the Indus Valley) or Mesoamerica (Aztec, Maya, or Inca). There should be ten
(10) sources followed by a summary of each source. Do not make this into an archeological
assignment by focusing on individual buildings and monuments within the selected city. 2.
The Romanist Theory suggests that some medieval towns were successors of settlements
established during the Roman period. Select any European settlement built by the Romans.
The paper should include a discussion of the city’s site, major features, and urban
development during the Roman and Medieval periods. Be sure to include maps and
diagrams of the city’s relative location and its internal layout (morphology) at different
times. Include at least ten (10) bibliographic entries. Check the Discussion Board for a list of
recommended cities for this topic. Do not write about Pompeii and Herculaneum since they
did not exist during the medieval era. Do not write about Rome since it is not a colony. Do
not write about Constantinople since it is Greek city. 3. Submit an annotated bibliography
on the city of Berlin. There should be ten (10) sources followed by a summary of each
source. Then discuss which of Benton’s (1968) urban origin theories (see Lesson 5) may be
applied to explain Berlin’s origins. Answer this question in one (1) paragraph. 4. Write an
historical account about the establishment (site and situation) and pre-1900 urban
development of a colonial city in North America. The paper should include a discussion of
the city’s site, major features, and urban history. Be sure to include maps and diagrams of
the city’s relative location and its internal layout (morphology) at different times. Include at
least ten (10) bibliographic entries.#Romanist #Theory #suggests #medieval #towns

Cassie Romero

This document provides a summary and analysis of several books that examine how Rome was interpreted and represented in the long 18th century. A key theme is that 18th century writers filtered evidence about ancient Rome through their own cultural lenses and assumptions. Travelers to Rome brought their own visions shaped by what they had read. Rome could not be experienced as a single fixed idea, but rather there were "many Romes." The document discusses how various 18th century writers, artists, and travelers engaged with and made sense of the ruins in Rome, often reconstructing the past in ways that revealed more about their own time period. It also examines how Rome was used symbolically and politically, such as in Napoleon's self-presentation as heir to

Select one (1) of the following famous ancient Roman structure.docx

lvernon1

Select one (1) of the following famous ancient Roman structures that you find most fascinating: Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Pantheon, insulae, or bath complexes. After exploring the related resource(s) below on Rome, provide your thoughts on why you found that structure fascinating and how specific features of that structure might be seen in our current time period. The Urban Structure I have chosen to discuss is: Well this part is easy, just tell me which structure you are going to look at, either: Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Pantheon, insulae (which were Roman apartment buildings), or bath complexes (feel free to insert a picture in the discussion as well of your topic that might be cool) Why I think this structure is so interesting? Discuss a few things about your structure that you find fascinating. The Romans were amazing builders and each of these structures has some fascinating things about them to discuss. What urban issue did this structure address? Each of these structures addressed urban issues that no other civilization had to deal with yet. The sheer size of the city of Rome created these urban problems and the Romans developed unique solutions. For example, if you discuss insulae you could address the fact that Rome had an expanding population and limited space. Most other civilizations just built outward as they expanded, but Rome, which would eventually be a city of over a million people simply did not have enough land to build out, so did they do? They built up!!! Created apartment style housing for the first time in history Hi kayl, it is more of a critical thinking answer... Did the structures solve social Issues? if so which ones... Did the structures solve entertainment issues? if so which ones... Did the structure solve political issues, it so which ones... How this structure has impacted modern buildings? This part should be easy; all of these building structures have left an impact on modern building styles and techniques. Again, if you’re assessing insulae, why do you think apartment buildings look the way they do, and are designed the way they are? Well, because that’s how the Romans did it and each of these urban structures created a model for how future civilizations would design urban structures .

Rome: history and Literature

carlo lesula

Rome began as a small settlement along the Tiber River in Italy, founded by the Latins in the 8th century BC. It later grew into a large republic and then a powerful empire that came to dominate the Mediterranean world. Key events in Rome's rise included its defeat of neighboring Etruscan and Greek cities, the establishment of a republican government with elected consuls and assemblies, and a period of expansion through military conquests across Italy and the Mediterranean region over centuries. Rome's power was further consolidated under the Roman Empire, and it developed a lasting culture that emphasized citizenship, law, engineering, and Latin literature.

alfred4lewis58146

PAGE 15 LECTURE 4 THE TRANSITION: FROM MEDIEVAL TO MODERN EUROPE (THE RENAISSANCE), 14th-17thCenturies I. The Renaissance: A Rebirth of Learning (1300-1650) A. The word “renaissance” means “rebirth” or “revival” B. In history, this word refers to a 300-year period in Europe that in Western Europe marked the revival of art, literature and learning 1. It is significant that this revival served as a bridge, or transition, between medieval and modern Western Europe 2. We find a greater level of achievement and European self-consciousness C. Some historians have argued that this period represented a sharp break with the past, while others have noted that the change was more evolutionary or an outgrowth of the Later Middle Ages 1. It is true that the Reinassance had roots in many aspects of the medieval heritage, especially the church-run universities of learning, the forms and subject matter of literature, and the rudiments of science 2. Of course, the emphasis of intellectual trends began to change more noticeably after the 14th century II. Distinctive Features of the Renaissance A. It began with: 1. The rediscovery of the Greco-Roman civilization, which had been generally neglected during the Middle Ages 2. Emphasized reason, a questioning attitude, experimentation, and free inquiry—in contrast with the medieval concern with religious faith, authority, and tradition 3. The Renaissance glorified the individual and approved of worldly pleasures, viewing life as worthwhile for its own sake, not chiefly as preparation for the hereafter 4. Focused attention upon worldly matters arising out of a secular society (secularization), rather than the medieval preoccupation with the Roman Catholic Church and religious affairs 5. Finally, the Renaissance featured great achievements in literature, art, and science III. The Renaissance Started in Italy A. Arose first in Italian cities because: 1. As the center of Greco-Roman culture, Italy contained sculptures, buildings, roads, and manuscripts that excited curiosity about classical (ancient) civilization 2. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Italy had absorbed stimulating new ideas from the Byzantine and Muslim worlds 3. Benefiting from the revival of trade that resulted from the Crusades in the Middle Ages, Italy had wealthy, influential people who became patrons (supporters) of literature, art, and science (much later in history, it was the state and its governmental structures that did the same thing) a. Some examples of leading Renaissance patrons included: certain Popes in Rome (Bishop of Rome), wealthy .

The renaissance and the Reformation

Monir Hossen

The Renaissance began in Italy in the late middle ages and spread across Europe. It was characterized by a revival of learning based on classical sources. Three important factors in the rise of the Renaissance were the growing wealth and power of Italian city-states like Florence, Venice, and Milan due to trade, which enabled cultural development; the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman texts, thanks to scholars like Petrarch; and new artistic techniques and perspectives developed by artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael that mimicked nature. The movement enhanced science, philosophy, art, and literature.

Week 3 Influences of Ancient Architecture.docx

write5

This document discusses two architectural structures that were influenced by Greco-Roman architecture: St. Peter's Square in Vatican City and Low Memorial Library at Columbia University. St. Peter's Square, built in the Renaissance, functions as a public gathering space and exhibits Greco-Roman influences through its symmetrical design and columns. Low Memorial Library, built in the late 19th century, was modeled after the Pantheon in Rome and serves as the focal point of the Columbia campus with its central dome and columns at the entrance. The document evaluates both structures, praising St. Peter's Square for its perfect symmetrical design and Low Library for its architectural perfection and sense of grandeur.

Neoclassical architecture originated in Europe in the 18th century as a reaction against Baroque and Rococo styles. It was inspired by the symmetrical forms and order of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Some key characteristics include columns, pediments, domes and an emphasis on simplicity and symmetry. Famous examples that demonstrate Neoclassical style include Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home, the United States Capitol Building, and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C.
