Aqueducts: The Remedy to Rome's Water Challenges

Aqueducts: The Remedy to Rome's Water Challenges Prior to 273, when the 1st elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was established in Rome, inhabitants who lived on hills had to go further down to get their water from natural sources. When aqueducts or springs weren’t accessible, people living at higher elevations turned to water pulled from underground or rainwater, which was made available by wells and cisterns.

From the early sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill by using the underground channel of Acqua Vergine. The aqueduct’s channel was made accessible by pozzi, or manholes, that were installed along its length when it was 1st engineered. During the roughly nine years he possessed the property, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi used these manholes to take water from the channel in buckets, though they were initially built for the intent of maintaining and maintaining the aqueduct. Even though the cardinal also had a cistern to collect rainwater, it didn’t provide a sufficient amount of water. Thankfully, the aqueduct sat under his residence, and he had a shaft opened to give him accessibility.

Sculpture As a Staple of Classic Art in Archaic Greece

Sculpture As a Staple of Classic Art in Archaic Greece The primitive Greeks manufactured the very first freestanding statuary, an awesome achievement as most sculptures up until then had been reliefs cut into walls and pillars. For the most part the statues, or kouros figures, were of young and desirable male or female (kore) Greeks. Considered by Greeks to embody skin care, the kouroi were structured into stiff, forward facing poses with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were usually nude, well-developed, and fit. In about 650 BC, the varieties of the kouroi became life-sized. The Archaic period was turbulent for the Greeks as they evolved into more polished forms of government and art, and acquired more information about the peoples and civilizations outside of Greece. Notwithstanding, these conflicts did little to hinder the progress of the Greek civilization.
