Question

Imagine you are a Classicist specializing in ancient Rome, and you have been traveling the world trying to bring back together separated objects from one original ancient location. To do this, complete the following:

Choose one (1) of the following TYPES of structures from ancient Rome:
- the private home of a member of the patrician class
- a civic building
- an imperial monument

Next, conduct research online to find a real example from the ancient Roman world of this type of structure you chose. (Remember, the ancient Roman world grew quite large, so you do *not* need to limit yourself to the city of Rome or the Italian peninsula itself.

1. Describe the type of structure you chose: what is the layout of the building, what features did it have, and how was it used?

2. Identify and describe each of the objects or works of art you found with that site. What are they and how do they fit in with the function of your building? Are there any correlations between your choices and other aspects of Roman life, society, religion, politics, or culture?

3. Finally, discuss how the works of art and/or objects you chose relate to how Romans created, consumed, and understood imagery and artwork.
