Explain expansive and powerful empires of the romans
Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim Empires
TOPIC- This section covers three expansive and powerful empires: the Romans, the Byzantines, and the Muslims. Though all three empires eventually collapsed, one legacy they left behind is their architecture, which each culture used to encapsulate and promote their beliefs.
PROMPT- In a standard 5-paragraph essay of 900-1200 words, use at least 2 specific examples from each of these empires to explain how their significant cultural values, ideals, and beliefs influenced the form and decoration of the architecture they left behind. In essence, essays should seek to explain why the architecture looks the way that it does, not simply describe the architecture. PLEASE NOTE: Monuments like triumphal arches and columns are NOT classified as architecture, nor are sculptures like portrait busts.
