Why were the domes important for Romans?
Domes were used as roofs for the hot rooms of some bathhouses, which were made in circular shape to accommodate the dome. In the western part of the Roman Empire they were used for a type of temple which had a rotunda with a dome on top. The most famous of these is the Pantheon in the city of Rome, which still has the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. In the eastern part of the Roman empire the pendentive dome became popular. It was used to for churches which had two to four domes. It became one of the defining characteristics of Byzantine church architecture
How do domes connect with rome?
The Romans perfected the construction of domes. Roman domes were built for baths, palaces, villas and mausolea (singular mausoleum, a monumental, free-standing burial chamber). Domes became important for bathhouses because their shape and the circular room layout they required helped to distribute the heat of the hot rooms evenly. They also became a feature of some imperial palaces and villas. They became a standard part of Roman architecture starting with the emperor Trajan (reigned 98-117). Mausolea became domed rotundas. Thanks to the use of Roman concrete, domes became large monumental structures. The dome of the Pantheon (a temple in Rome which became a Christian church) is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. It has a diameter of 43.3 metres (142 ft.)
How did the pantheon influence life for the western civilization?
The Pantheon still has the largest reinforced concrete dome in the world. Some of the Roman temples were circular and had a dome, like the Pantheon. Knowledge of how to make Roman concrete was lost during he Middle Ages and domes were no longer built in western Europe for centuries. Then between 1446 and 1461 Brunelleschi built a dome for Florence Cathedral which was even bigger than that of the Pantheon. This was a big achievement because his dome is made with bricks. Brunelleschi had studied the dome of the Pantheon and other Roman architecture prior to his undertaking. Since then several churches and secular buildings (including the Capitol on Washington) have been built with domes. This was inspired by Roman architecture.
