Regarded by the world as one of the greatest empires to ever exist, the Roman Empire had many accomplishments that we are thankful for to this day. And Roman architecture is definitely one of them. The living testament to its glory are the constructions that still stand to this day, despite around 2000 years of fire, war, wear and scavenging people. It's hard to imagine modern day Rome without the Colosseum despite the fact that it stood to see the Empire rise and fall, hundreds of generations and cultures come and go. It always was and will be one of the greatest symbols of the Roman Empire. Yet while we see what is left in our day, it is always fascinating to see what the iconic structures looked like back in their glorious days. So scroll down below and check out these comparisons.
Commissioned by the Emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus in AD 80 as a gift to the people of Rome, the Stadium of Domitian was mostly used for athletic contests. In AD 217, when the Colosseum suffered fire-damage, the Stadium was used for gladiator shows. As the Empire's power diminished, the Stadium was used to house the poor. After the Renaissance, the structure was mined and robbed for building materials. Currently, Piazza Navona stands over the site of the Stadium of Domitian.
By 500 AD, the population in Rome had dropped significantly, going from 750,000 to 250,000 in only 50 years. Over time, the buildings of the Forum were
Interior of the Severan Basilica, adjoining the Forum, and constructed in the early 2nd century AD as part of Emperor Septimius Severus's grandiose building plans for his home town.
A house discovered in ancient Rome’s central district may prove that the city was considerably larger than previously believed. The rectangular residence, which is still largely intact, has been discovered on the Quirinal Hill, between the modern Via Veneto and the Termini train station, and may date back to the sixth century BC.

El Panteón de Roma (llamado durante mucho tiempo de Agripa) es uno de esos monumentos excelsos, geniales por su ingeniería,…
Der von Cäsar begonnene Theaterbau wurde erst 13 v. Chr. unter Augustus fertiggestellt, der ihn dem Andenken des Marcellus, seinem jung verstorbenen Schwiegersohn, widmete. Das Theater bot etwa 15.000 Besuchern Platz. Es wurde im 12. Jh. von der Familie Fabi in eine Stadtfestung umgebaut. Anfang des 16. Jh., als es im Besitz der Familie Savelli war, erfolgt durch Baldassare Peruzzi der Umbau in einen Wohnpalst. Im 18. Jh. ging der der Bau in den Besitz der Herzöge von Orsini über und in der neueren Zeit wurde er in Luxusapartments unterteilt. Die drei korinthischen Säulen auf hohem Podest gehörten zum Apollo-Tempel des Sosius, erbaut 433 v. Ch. als Tempel des Apollo Medius. Er wurde 34 v. Chr. durch den Konsul Sosius erneuert., dessen Namen er seitdem trägt.
