            After the death of Jesus, Christians designed themes and structures created relatively for worshipping Jesus. During these times the subject matter of the Christian art, consists mainly about Biblical figures, primary religious and architectural churches, these were created as a way to serve the Church.

            Biblical figures such as the stories of Jonah, Daniel and Sunana from the book of Daniels were told. This stories tells when two judges saw Sunana with another man, the term called that day is “Adultery”, which was a law during that time, but a boy named Daniel does not believe the two judges, until Daniel told one of the judges to go and away. At the end people get mad and killed the two judges instead.

            As the Christian art continuous, Christians continuous to worship to places and areas, such as the churches, were placed in many parts of Rome, Constantinople, Milan, Antoven, and Ravenna. In Early Christian art, architecture a distinct emphasis was placed on the centralized plan. Saint Peter’s Basilica was combined with the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to create a new formal synthesis of great significance for religious architecture.

            To remember about during the Christian art is that it came from a wide variety of background and previous religious belief; there was no president for Christian art, so the arts were completely new. Many reasons of these arts of the period were inspired such as, paintings and relief scuptures. Early Christian art gave artists many different kinds of beliefs on how to elaborate their art work, different symbols of Christianity were made during were Christians are hiding. Christians were merely persuaded the symbol of the cross gave protection to the Christians. Artists made their art from their beliefs; it gave them to express themselves to Jesus.

The design came from by Vespasian, who was the emperor of Rome, and then followed my Nero, Nero was also an emperor in Rome, but Nero’s statue made of bronze is at the side of the Colosseum, or either we call the Colossus of Nero. The Colosseum thought to be built between 73-75 AD. When their ruler Vespasian died his second son Domitian added designs to the top tier and a vast network of rooms, cells and tunnels.

            The design of the Roman Colosseum applied from the latest Roman arts, architecture and other creative endeavors. Invention of concrete enabled this building to be built so quickly, efficiently and to a great effect. The beauty was done to the highest artistic style used in the building were Travertine lime stone, tuff is used in the preparation of cements, tiles, marble and lead.

Materials used: ·         Travertine lime stone ·         Tuff ·         Tiles ·         Marble ·         Lead

The Colosseum is really one of the most astonishing work of art, architecture and structure. Only from its columns and arches, we can see many stories on how and what happened during those time. I think they were inspired to build these, because it shows how powerful they were. Creativity of the Colosseum still remains as well thought work of arts

The proportion of this edifice is 45 ft in height and 35 ft in with.

                During this period, how Nebuchadnezzar II did made this magnificent gate of Babylon? How did he all the pieces together, to make it a well built structure I think that Nebuchadnezzar constructed this gate, because to give beauty of the empire As the race continues, The Tower of Babel and the Hanging Garden made its position as one of the seven wonders of the world. During the period of Ancient art, I think it is one of the greatest contributions of well developed structure, well detailed, and well interpretations.
