Early Italian houses grouped around the atrium, with a small garden, the so-called hortus, at the back.
The classic Roman house, however, was divided into two parts. The first part grouped around the atrium, the second around the peristylium. The peristylium having developed out of the earlier hortus.

The atrium and the peristylium were perfect adaptions to the heat of the Mediterranean. They were open to the sky, letting fresh air in to circulate among the corridors and rooms.
In the atrium a small pool, the impluvium would catch the rainwater, whereas in the peristylium, the rain would water the plants. Further to the impluvium there was an underground tank connected to it which could catch any excess rainwater.

The Roman house is very much a house built for the people of southern Europe. So much so, that when the Romans built their houses in northern Italy or the northern European provinces, they adopted a system of heating, circulating warm air under the floors and along the walls.

Roman Art

Roman art grows out of Etruscan art, and at first it is a lot like Etruscan art. Because of this, it has a close relationship to Greek art as well. Roman art as a type of its own really gets going around 500 BC with the beginning of the Roman Republic. Roman people were particularly interested in portraiture: in making statues that really looked like one particular person, especially a famous person. Greek people were more interested in ideals: what is the most beautiful man? what is the most athletic man? But the Romans were more interested in reality.

Greco-Persian Wars




The Greco-Persian Wars were a series of conflicts between several Greek city-states and the Persian Empire that started in 499 BC and lasted until 448 BC. The expression "Persian Wars" usually refers to both Persian invasions of the Greek mainland in 490 BC and in 480-479 BC; in both cases, the allied Greeks successfully repulse the invasions. Not all Greek city-states fought against the Persians; some were neutral and others allied with Persia, especially as its massive armies approached.



Those worlds on the top are not all of them mine. Persian and Athens had problem from many years ago. the king or persia tried to extend his county, and get more power. They were successful, but finally they lost. I can mention on "300" movie. It's good movie on recording, actors, and animation. It shows the war between Athens and Persia, but the story was changed. If you want know more about these wars, let me know; i can give you good references.

After Cyrus the Persian Empire was shaky. Darius extended Persian Empire to its farthest reach such as all way into Macedon. The Persian Empire decided to attack Athenians that Athenians knew about the Persian army and their tactics. Xerxes started to attack other country such as Persian and he was successful. Athenians get power but not more than Persian Empire. 
Persian Empire was came down by Alexander the Great .
Alexander,s army crossed  the Cilician Gates,met and defeated the main Persian army under the command of Darius at the Battle of Issus in 33 BC. Darius was forced to run away the battle after his army broke,and in doing so left behind his wife , his two daughters , his mother and a fabulous amount of treasure. He offered a peace treaty to Alexander at a later , and he invite Alexander to Persian. Alexander replied that since he was now king of the Asia , It was he alone who decided territorial divisions.

Probably you ask me what this crap is? It's Persian. It's official language of Iran. Persian alphabets are same Arabic language with different pronunciation. The persian language started from Darius and the new version is found in Islamic world like Iran. This language has 32 letters. Persian has a big weakness that it has limitation on vocabulary.  I can give you an example: In English we have like 15 different words that has same meaning of excited ,but in Persian we have one word that is same exact excited and this word use everyday by people.

Everyday World......#2

It's my opinion that you can see today world from this prehistory picture. They used rock for structure and construction . It shows when and where the human started to build construction by rock and stone. The most important thing you can find out is the similarity of those house with new houses that we made in my entire life.
