Document Summary
Expression of the emperor to respect the authority because they"ll bring a upgrade to the people. Transmitting water to the people who don"t have any of it. The roman arch design were introduce, the round-headed arch. Like cement, small rock elements mixed with water, easy to use and it"s cheap. However, the secret formula is exacting the right proportion to make it very strong and makes a strong bond. Useful for expression and iconology to have a bigger building with extended space. Groin vault: intersecting the barrel to each other. Give more directionality and open space, adding more flexibility. Lower class people we"re enforce to be a gladiators to give up their life. Prisons and christians, people who don"t give their beliefs in favor of the state religion, considered to be the enemy and picked to be killed. More of an amusement, but a warning to the people.
