I really like how Ariana's blog really emphasized the invention of concrete during this time period. Concrete completely changed the way that structures were built and broadened the type of structures that could be built as well. She also discussed the Pantheon in her blog post and her modern day example of a dome structure in Berlin was amazing. It really showed how the shape is still used but the materials used to create the dome have changed dramatically. In ancient times they could not imagine creating a dome using metal and glass, whereas today that is something that is possible.
I also looked at Hannah's blog this week. I thought it was really interesting how she talked about how men and women were gladiators in Ancient Roman times. Since we discussed the Colosseum in depth in class I thought it was very cool that she decided to do some extra research on what took place inside that structure.
