Treasure: Colosseum - I cent. AD
Civilization: ⚜️Ancient Rome
Where:#Rome
Family: @europe_treasures | @tesori_italiani⠀ ⠀ ⠀ The Colosseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheater, is the largest amphitheater in the world, located in the city center of Rome. With a capacity of up to 75,000 spectators, it is the most important Roman #amphitheater as well as the most impressive monument of ancient Rome that has survived, known throughout the world as a symbol of the city of Rome and Italy. Its construction was started by Vespasian in 72d.C. and inaugurated by Tito in the 80, with further changes made under Domitian's rule. The building forms an ellipse of 527 m of perimeter, with the axes measuring 187.5 and 156.5 m. The name "Colosseum" spread only in the Middle Ages and comes from the popular deformation of the Latin adjective "colosseum", meaning huge, colossal. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Share our Wonderful Heritage

- FORMACIONES ROMANAS: Formación en Testudo
La formación en Testudo (tortuga) fue una táctica de batalla usada por las legiones romanas desde el siglo II a.C.
Esta formación estaba pensada sobre todo para asedios. Al cubrirse completamente todos los soldados solapando sus scutum podían acercarse a los muros de la ciudad para minarla, repeliendo flechas, jabalinas u otras armas arrojadizas. Esta táctica fue usada por ejemplo en el asedio de Jerusalén exitosamente.
Los inconvenientes de esta formación eran su lentitud y la ineficacia a la hora de combatir cuerpo a cuerpo debido a lo apretados que estaban los legionarios. Además las piernas de los que se encontraban en primera fila eran susceptibles a recibir disparos. A todo esto sumar que en oriente ya se desarrollaban arcos compuestos capaces de atravesar el scutum y ensartar a el soldado.
De esta formación derivó la fastigata testudo. En ella los soldados iban escalonando en altura los escudos para conseguir que los proyectiles cayesen como si de un tejado se tratase. Incluso servía para que otros soldados escalaran por ellos y asaltaran los muros.

Marco Vipsanio Agripa nació entre 64 y 62 a. C en las afueras de Roma. Fue educado junto a Octavio, el futuro emperador. Entabló una gran amistad con él y sirvieron juntos bajo Julio César. Tras la muerte de este y nombramiento de Octavio como heredero, Agripa decidió serle fiel y servirle como general. Acabó convirtiéndose en el encargado de todos sus asuntos militares y el responsable de los grandes éxitos militares de Octavio. Además de como general, destacó en el mundo de la política y estudió arquitectura, lo que le llevó a construir numerosos edificios públicos en Roma. Uno de ellos fue el Templo de Agripa, que destruido tras un incendio, sirvió como base para la construcción del conocido y todavía presente Panteón de Agripa.
Si nombramos todo lo que hizo Agripa abarcaríamos numerosos posts. Este importante personaje ha sido uno de los personajes más importantes de la historia de Roma. Responsable de la victoria de Augusto y su nombramiento como el primer emperador de Roma, su enorme influencia en la política romana y la importante campaña de reparaciones y mejoras públicas en la ciudad de Roma que llevó a cabo, son las causas que le llevan a ser el protagonista de esta publicación. ¿Que opinas de Agripa? ¿ Fue uno de los mejores generales de Roma? ¿ Está infravalorado, o tal vez sobrevalorado?

Treasure: Arles Amphitheatre - I cent. AD
Civilization: ⚜️Ancient Rome
Where:#Arles - #France
Family: @europe_treasures | @tesori_italiani⠀ ⠀ ⠀ The Arles #Amphitheatre is a Roman amphitheatre in the southern French town of Arles. This two-tiered Roman amphitheatre is probably the most prominent tourist attraction in the city of Arles, which thrived in Roman times. The pronounced towers jutting out from the top are medieval add-ons. Built in 90 AD, the #amphitheater was capable of seating over 20,000 spectators, and was built to provide entertainment in the form of chariot races and bloody hand-to-hand battles. Today, it draws large crowds for bullfighting during the Feria d'Arles as well as plays and concerts in summer. The building measures 136 m (446 ft) in length and 109 m (358 ft) wide, and features 120 arches. It has an oval arena surrounded by terraces, arcades on two levels (60 in all), bleachers, a system of galleries, drainage system in many corridors of access and staircases for a quick exit from the crowd. It was obviously inspired by the Colosseum in Rome (in 72-80), being built slightly later (in 90). The amphitheatre was not expected to receive 25,000 spectators, the architect was therefore forced to reduce the size and replace the dual system of galleries outside the Colosseum by a single annular gallery. This difference is explained by the conformation of the land. This "temple" of the games housed gladiators and hunting scenes for more than four centuries. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Share our Wonderful Heritage

FORO / FORUM
El foro o plaza pública vino a ser el “ágora” griego: el mercado principal y lugar de reunión para tratar asuntos mercantiles, agrícolas, judiciales y políticos. Era el verdadero centro social y político de la ciudad. Solía estar adornado con pórticos y puertas monumentales o arcos triunfales, y rodeado de edificios importantes (templos, basílicas, etc.) El más notable es el monumental foro romano.
The forum or public square became the greek "agora": the main market and meeting place to deal with mercantile, agricultural, judicial and political issues. It was the true social and political center of the city. It used to be adorned with porticos and monumental doors or triumphal arches, and surrounded by important buildings (temples, basilicas, etc.). The most notable is the monumental Roman forum.
