Caesar Augustus famously claimed, “I found [Rome] a city of brick, but left it of marble.” Augustus began a series of major building projects within the Roman Empire that would be continued by later Emperors.
Describe and discuss the impact of Imperial Rome upon the development of architecture. Choose one major building project or monument and discuss the significance of the work. You may consider the aesthetic, technical, or lasting influence of the work. Make sure to examine the historical context or any notable motivations of the emperor who inaugurated the work.
