Why is the coliseum still important today?

History

atroni [7]3 years ago

Not really a response.

The huge external stones of the Colosseum were fastened together using metal clips rather than cement during construction. The clips were removed from the stone works by "recyclers" when the building went out of use. The exterior is pock pitted with holes as a result.

As a result, gravity is the only factor holding these external walls together.

The Colosseum was also constructed in the first century. It had the most seats available of any sports venue in the world up to the 19th century.

The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Theatre (for the imperial dynasty that oversaw its design and construction), was the greatest structure of its type and entertained many people as a diversion from their daily chores. It was also a clever stroke of imperial propaganda because it was constructed on the site of the Domus Aureus, the unpopular emperor Nero's imperial residence. They filled the pond that had previously been in the garden and the tiny stream that had been diverted to fill this pond in order to construct it. This would later be the reason why one side of the Colosseum collapsed in an earthquake as the soil there was far more loose than under the other part and thus suffered from liquification making the whole underground unstable.

How did improvements in techno<br>society during the Industrial revolution​
Sergio [31]

The term Industrial Revolution, like similar historical concepts, is more convenient than precise. It is convenient because history requires division into periods for purposes of understanding and instruction and because there were sufficient innovations at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries to justify the choice of this as one of the periods. The term is imprecise, however, because the Industrial Revolution has no clearly defined beginning or end. Moreover, it is misleading if it carries the implication of a once-for-all change from a “preindustrial” to a “postindustrial” society, because, as has been seen, the events of the traditional Industrial Revolution had been well prepared in a mounting tempo of industrial, commercial, and technological activity from about 1000 CE and led into a continuing acceleration of the processes of industrialization that is still proceeding in our own time. The term Industrial Revolution must thus be employed with some care. It is used below to describe an extraordinary quickening in the rate of growth and change and, more particularly, to describe the first 150 years of this period of time, as it will be convenient to pursue the developments of the 20th century separately.

What was the cause of the Great Schism of 1054 between the Eastern and Western Church?
vladimir2022 [97]
There had been splits before i believe on three different occasions but this time was more definite due to a culmination of differences. The big one was when the Patriarch of Constantinople excommunicated the Pope after the Popes messengers interrupted a mass at the Church in Constantinople and once it got back to Rome the Pope excommunicated the Patriarch. There were other problems between the two lungs of the Church such as the Western Church added the filioque . The biggest problem that Historians say is there was just a plain language problem between the Latin and the Greek which created misunderstanding of beliefs.And there were also cultural differences which caused different understanding of beliefs. But thank GOD the excommunications have been lifted and the two Churches are getting closer to being one again.
