Week 5: Daily, March 14th

Please take a picture of something in your own neighborhood or town that appears to have been influenced by Ancient Rome.


I am presenting several picture in the state of Maryland that I believed were influenced by Ancient Rome.


White House: several columns in the front, just like Roman Colosseum.

Lincoln Memorial: Once again, columns in front somewhat alike to the Roman Colosseum.

Francis Scott Key Bridge: Arches alike to the arches that the Romans introduced into architecture.

Baltimore Basilica: Circular roof is traced back to some of the famous buildings that were built in ancient Roman times.
