The document provides details about the urban plans of Pompeii and Herculaneum in ancient Rome. It describes the layouts of their streets, locations of gates, and public spaces like forums and fountains. The streets of Pompeii were laid out in a grid pattern and included raised sidewalks. Fountains were placed at intersections and supplied by aqueducts. Herculaneum had a more orderly Greek-style plan with wider streets and covered sidewalks.

INTRODUCTION
The ancient and modern are often juxtaposed in an inseparable way in
cities which are continuously inhabited since their foundation in antiquity.
The architectural splendor of ancient Rome for example, is visible and
traceable in several fragmented contexts in the heart of modern Rome;
remains of ancient architecture are embraced and invaded by the modern
city that grew around and over the ruins of its ancient counterpart. In
only rare instances, such as the Pantheon, the Markets of Trajan and the
Colosseum, or the impressive façade of the Temple of Zeus inserted into
a later building, is it possible to see the monuments that once adorned
ancient Rome still standing to their full height.
The remains of many other ancient cities on the other hand, are found at
a distance from nearby modern settlements and are not encroached by
buildings. These ancient cities are actually more potent in revealing and
displaying the ancient urban context in an un-fragmented state. Yet the
fact that these are often not well preserved and that large portions remain
unexcavated hinder that potential, and to an untrained eye, the ancient city
often looks like a spread of ruins. While monuments like theaters or baths
are in general well preserved and might partially stand to their full height,
the ‘ancient city’ is often conceived as a walking track with a collection of
building stones. In several cases the remains of buildings whose walls are
rarely preserved to their full height do not give a sense of how they once
looked like. Finding a still standing ancient building, let alone an ancient
city, and wandering inside, therefore, is not a common experience.
Renowned for their superb preservation, Pompeii and Herculaneum are
two exceptional examples. The archaeological character and context of
these two ancient cities, especially those of Pompeii, are exceptional in
many respects:
Pompeii occupies a special place in Roman archaeology, for this city and its
neighbors, notably Herculaneum, were remarkably well preserved under the

In-Cul.Tu.Re. Project - Cycle itinerary n.2 - From Grecìa to the sea by bikeZoom Cultura
The itinerary will take you through four different towns (Corigliano d’Otranto, Melpignano, Castrignano de’ Greci e Carpignano Salentino) and you will end up at the seaside, where you have two options: relaxation at Sant'Andrea or fascination with archaic Roca.
Thesis Statement:
Give back to the Populus Romanus what was stripped from them by the dictator Benito Mussolini. Return the site to a state of Abitato (Inhabitancy) through the creation of a Public Park that will Vestige & Expose the intricate layers of Strata of Rome.
Create an E x p e r i e n t i a l J o u r n e y that will allow its visitors to experience the site at different points in its history as well as in New Contemporary Experiences.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

5. The Sarno river gave Pompeii the role of sea port for the adjacent hinterland Nola lay on the main NS road access. The Nola gate decreased in important with less need for defence Nuceria , also on the NS road axis drew its wealth from the river plain and southern regions of Campania Via Sabiae was the steepest street running from NW to SE Stabiae was an important shipbuilding town The old City or “Aldstat” Streets were generally narrow, varying between 2.4,3.6 or 4.5 metres wide . At its widest the main street was 8.5 metres wide The area covered approximately 66 hectares, only 2/3 of which have been excavated Pompeii was accessed by seven gates, five of which led to other towns.Streets were laid out on a grid, the main axial road( decumanii) crossed by minor roads ( cardini) creating blocks called insulae about 35x90 metres No commercial, or residential zoning exists and land use was not exclusively urban

7. The Porta Marina gate was originally gate to the sea . There were two arches one for pedestrians and the other one for pack animals.
18. STREET FOUNTAINS At many of the street intersection , public fountains, with sculptured headstones over rectangular stone troughs, provided water for the inhabitants. These were fed by lead pipes running beneath the sidewalks from two huge cisterns, one at the Vesuvius Gate( high up in the town) and the other near the Forum Baths. The water to these cisterns was via an aquaduct which fed Neopolis and MisenumSo far 42 public fountains have been excavated at Pompeii and 3 at Herculaneum
19. The location of fountains may be significant in that they could indicate neighborhoods groupings. The decoration of the fountains could also indicate the status of both the neighborhood in comparison to other neighborhoods, and the status of the patron of the fountain. One of the best-know examples of fountains at Pompeii lies at the juncture of the forum and the beginning of one of the main thoroughfares, the Via Dell’Abbondanza. The basin of the fountain is unusual in that it is carved from limestone rather than lesser quality stone, and in addition has a fine sculpture of the goddess Fortuna/Concordia with the spigot still visible.
20. Standpipes- a high vertical pipe or reservoir that is used to secure a uniform pressure in a water-supply system
24. Public Shrine The manner in which intersections received varying degrees of emphasis by the concentration in them of elements that might be called "urban furniture," i.e., fountains, shrines, arches, standpipes, these features and the manner in which the elements along the Strada Stabiana inflected pedestrian traffic toward the forum are discussed by William Westfall and Mark Schimmenti in the report of The Forum Project .
