Apollodorus of Damascus, The Forum of Trajan, dedicated 112 C.E.., Rome. A conversation with Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker. Created by Beth Harris and Steven Zucker.
It very interesting how one material, like concrete, can totally transform an entire civilization. Also, when the technology was lost in time civilization took a step backwards only to jump forwards again once it was rediscovered. A good case example to learn from.
Bless Apollodorus' heart... I just completed my Project Management studies [🥳] and, now that I'm applying, can only imagine the requests that will be made of me. I doubt they'll escalate to hill removal, but we'll see. Related: I did stalk your website and was crushed to see the PM role filled, but I will keep my eyes open! "Imagine a public space filled with niches, with sculpture in them, relief carvings, free-standing sculpture..." Pre-heaven? lol. I would've loved it so much, tucked away in a little space, enjoying the weather with a good book while watching the people go by.
The following is delivered lighthearted. :) I gather people who came here are familiar with history to some extent. Just imagine trying to explain an internet forum to say, Pliny the elder. :) "It's a place where people gather in separate places. At the same time, but in different times, at that same time." :o???? Put that in your book, Pliny! :D I'm likely too ineloquent??? :) I don't mean to single out Pliny the elder. I recall liking him in his book. The younger seemed okay too I suppose. I never met them though. :) Funny thing, the younger's letter remains in my memory as if heard at a dinner party. For those who don't know to what I refer, check the internet. :)
@@wankawanka3053He was Nabatean and he was borned in Damascus. I don't know if it was his original name. Perhaps he used it to be more accepted by Rome ?
Good question, in the context of ancient Roman culture, a forum is an outdoor space that can include buildings while a basilica is a type of building plan.
The highest quality content on youtube. Thank you to the producers, Drs Harris and Zucker. Please continue.
I can almost see the ancient Romans hustling and bustling through the markets. Thanks for making these ruins come alive.
3:04 in my country Romania we've made a copy in a museum and there are scenes of this colum in different metro stations.
This is a quality video. Great info
Thank you!

Dang. Where was this video two weeks ago when I was covering this material in my class? Thanks for the great overviews, as always.
Thank you kayne, very cool
I couldn't agree more.

Congratulations! And yes, Apollodorus of Damascus really was something. Have you watched our video on the Column of Trajan? He returns for an encore.

Apolodoros ... what a Syrian 😎😎😎
His name ain't syrian in the slightest
@@wankawanka3053He was Nabatean and he was borned in Damascus.

SO? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FORUM AND A BASICILA. THEY BOTH MEET THE SAME NEEDS.
