Description
Detail view of the curving of exterior wall and arches (believed to once hold statues of the gods) of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. The exterior borrows from Greek architectural orders. Each arch of the arcades is framed by engaged columns; from the bottom to the top, the columns are Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian with Corinthian pilasters in the attic. The attic has small windows which once alternated with bronze plaques (now lost),"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
