Excerpt: ...lasted a hundred days, five thousand wild animals were thrown into the arena. It continued to be used for gladiatorial and wild-beast fights for nearly four hundred years. On various public occasions it was splendidly fitted up with gold, silver, or amber furniture. The Therma (public baths, literally warm waters) were constructed on the grandest scale of refinement and luxury. The Baths of Caracalla, at Rome, contained sixteen hundred rooms, adorned with precious marbles. Here were painting and sculpture galleries, libraries and museums, porticoed halls, open groves, and an imperial palace. The arts of Painting, Sculpture, and Pottery were borrowed first from the Etruscans, and then from the Greeks; in mosaics, the "Roman art," pays Zcrffl, "Is a misnomer; it Is Etruscan, Greek, Assyrian, and Egyptian art, dressed in an eclectic Roman garb by foreign artists. The Pantheon contained a Greek statne of Venus, which, it is said, had in one ear the half of the pearl left by Cleopatra. To ornament a Greek marble statue representing a goddess with part of the earring of an Egyptian princess, is highly characteristic of Roman taste in matters of art." Romans excelled. In later times, Rome was filled with the magnificent spoils taken from conquered provinces, especially Greece. Greek artists flooded the capital, bringing their native ideality to serve the ambitious desires of the more practical Romans, whose dwellings grew more and more luxurious, until exquisitely-frescoed wiills, mosaic pavements, rich paintings, and marble statues became common ornaments in hundreds of elegant villas. 3. THE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS. General Character.--However much they might come in contact, the Roman and the Greek character never assimilated. We have...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Ancient, Mediæval, and Modern Peoples: With Some Account of Their Monuments, Institutions, Arts, Manners and Customs The plan of the Barnes's Brief History Series has been thoroughly tested in the books already issued - United States, and France - and their extended use and approval are evidence of its general excellence. In this work, the political history, which occupies most, if not all, of the ordinary school-text, is condensed to the salient and essential facts, in order to give room for some account of the literature, religion, architecture, character, and habits of the different nations. Surely, it is as important to know something about Plato as all about Caesar; to learn how the ancients wrote their books as how they fought their battles; and to study the virtues of the old Germans and the dawn of our own customs in English home-life, as to trace the petty squabbles of Alexander's successors or the intricacies of the Wars of the Roses. The Chapters on Manners and Customs and the Scenes in Real Life represent the people of history as men and women subject to the same wants, hopes, and fears as ourselves, and so bring the distant past near to us. The Scenes, which are intended only for reading, are the result of a careful study of the unequaled collections of monuments in the London, Paris, and Berlin Museums, of the ruins in Rome and Pompeii, and of the latest authorities on the domestic life of the peoples of other lands and times.
