The city of Pompeii was snuffed out all at once on a fateful day in A.D. 79. Today it provides more information about “daily life in Rome” than any other Roman site. As you think back over what you’ve learned about this remarkable Roman resort town, discuss FOUR critical architectural developments, using at least FOUR specific examples, which we would know much less about were Pompeii never to have been rediscovered. Part of the challenge of the assignment is to keep within the 250-word limit.
Some say that Nero’s Domus Aurea began the “Roman Architectural Revolution.” Others suggest that the octagonal room, designed by Severus and Celer, grew out of an architectural evolution long in the making. Domed rooms with an oculus appear earlier in the frigidaria of Pompeii’s Stabian and Forum Baths and at the Augustan “Temple of Mercury” at Baia. In the domed room of Nero’s Domus Transitoria in Rome, the emperor’s architects inscribed a circle in an octagon. And yet, the Domus Aurea is unique in the way it combines concept, location, scale, plan, and materials with the delusional personality of its patron Nero. Do you think that the Domus Aurea would have come into being as part of an architectural evolution or do you think that it was Nero’s megalomania that shaped the Domus Aurea? Part of the challenge of the assignment is to keep within the 250-word limit.
