I like learning things.
Ara paxi
what i don't understand is why has human development in art gone backwards? why can't people living today build something like this? everything is just a cookie cutter skyscraper that look like they were made in a computer by artificial intelligence instead of actual people
Humans repeat the endless circle of the civilizations, the romans had this problem too, in the third century the quality of their art go down significantly and we have the same problem, see the beautiful things of the end of 1800s and beginings of 1900s, and now see the monstrosities of today.
Capitalism. Function + bottom line over design quality+ esthetics.
totally recommended for ap art history students!
The word republic comes from the Latin phrase, "res publica," meaning the rule of the people. A slogan, since the Republic was ruled in fact by an oligarchy, represented by the Senate, who embodied the "optimates," the best families of the Roman polity. Octavian, nephew of Julius and his heir, ended the republic while retaining the forms of its government. He was never called emperor, he was basically self-termed as Rome's "First Citizen." The adoring Senate termed him "Augustus," highness.
If that museum was designed for that altar, then why is the wall 3 feet from the side of the altar?

I interpret the children the seated woman is holding to be Romulus and Remus, the former of which killed the latter and thus gave Rome its name. I'd never heard of the Ara Pacis Augustae before watching this video, but I've already learned that it's simply breathtaking.
Thank you sharing your thoughts on this beautiful monument, its a fascinating remnant of the ancient world. Would love to see it in real life
Nicely done, great information for my research.
besides the brick/marble irony with the brick building next to the museum, Augusta’s
' tomb was made of bricks
Ian Monroe Dang autocorrect
I enjoyed this presentation; never saw this altar before. Am going to search under Khan to see if hopefully you have more segments. It also kept it interesting to have the two narrators. I'm wondering how you know that they painted the marble very bright colors??
Ironic that he took Rome from a city of brick and left it a city of marble... and yet this now sits next to a building of brick. (10:26)
I think it would be more fitting to say that he found the city timber and left it marble, as most buildings back then were made of wood. Irony that it sits next to a brick building though ye :P
Adm Davies actually the lower half of buildings were brick and the upper half wood
@@ianmonroe3045 most of the pillars were made out of wood
What an informative, objective insightful series. I have been wishing to see this Ara Paci fror a while. It has not disappointed. As for the missing color . High coloration was characteristic to The Greeks to as of the Kelt Its a key feature of the arts of Western Civilizations
OMG really really helpful！Exactly what I want to search about. Thx so much
the women and two children on the manly intact piece are probably Romulus, Remus,and Rhea Silvia. Bet no one thought of that yet
Could TELLUS, Mother Earth or GAIA with Her 2 Sons be the most subtle Propaganda message of The ARA PACIS? For the genuine exact likeness of The Three were none other than JULIA the Daughter of AUGUSTUS and The 2 Sons born of Her Husband MARCUS AGRIPPA the best Friend of the First Citizen who had won that decisive Battle for Him at ACTIUM, thus guaranteeing Posterity's Peaceful Succession. Don't get confused: JULIA was also on the Other Side of The Facade in that July 4, 13 B.C.E. Procession as HERSELF, Daughter of GAIUS OCTAVIUS THURINUS i.e. Octavian Caesar ie AUGUSTUS, who headed that Procession. But JULIA's more "Idealized" likeness represented Mother Earth and Her 2 BOYS Romulus and Remus, or PEACE and PLENTY, etc. RATHER THAN HERSELF.
I'll give Benito this. Thank you both for your time and effort on our behalf, it was enjoyable and instructive, an unusual duo. Pat
learned a lot, thank you
Nice. Thank you very much.
At 6:45 there's a mistake in Polish subtitles. It should be Partenon, not Panteon since Dr. Harris and Dr. Zucker are talking about Greek, not Roman sculptures.
Could those 2 children on the front of the frieze be Romulus and Remus on their birth mother Rhea's lap? I mean, they've got to be twins right? Seems so obvious, I must be wrong.
thank you :)
Thanks so much
what a horror: the destroyed the historic Fascist enclosing building around the Ara, in order to give a job to the American architect??? Good God: vandalism par excellance!
clarence spencer tout à fait bien protégé et mis en valeur, au contraire.
It was not real peace though. Not as we intend today.
Where is it today?
Danny Belcher In Rome, in a building also called Ara Pacis. Like a museum, but only for this particular altar.
Thank you for asking this question. I can't believe SmartHistory would make a video about a museum, then they don't tell us where the museum is located.
Slight spelling mistake at 0:18. It should be 'Emperor'.
Imperator
IMP
What a cool video
That doesn't look like an altar. Ara Pacis looks like a throne.
A throne sitting in judgement of one side or the other . . . and the parade at the side is waiting for their turn to appeal to Octavius (I called a cat "Octavius" when I was 19 in 1972).
With an uncle murdered, it would be rather sensible for the system to avoid civil war by keeping Octavian safe.
Thank you very much all is very helpful
