caesar novus 52 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 They made <...> statues so real In every detail Not like the Greek ideal More support of my favorite issue - Roman sculpture as not derivative from the Greek. I have only gotten polite skepticism on this point here, and I have only recently heard it supported from a set of lectures that I posted about earlier. They said that Roman sculpture derived from death mask practices, and this realism was followed regardless if a Greek was actually doing the sculpture for them. I think Roman sculpture is the hook to adoring Roman culture. Their engineering is impressive to ones intellect, but their reflective, nonchalant, non theatrical, non egoistic sculpture has soul and gravitas. All history's sculpture before and after seems to be false posing in comparison. Engineering and sculpture is all we concretely (!) know of the Romans - their writings may contain more or less fiction I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DecimusCaesar 1 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 I really like these videos, they've also done plenty of others on Classical history including- Julius Caesar, Cleopatra (Pharaohlicious), Hannibal, Attila the Hun, Constantine, Gladiator, Pompeii, Macedonia, Empress Theodora, the Trojan War, the Odyssey, Greek Philosophers, and a couple of others I'm sure I've missed out on. it's nice to see they're giving some good attention to ancient history as well as more modern events.

GhostOfClayton 25 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 I'm loving the Mambo#5 video, Klingan. Had this lady been the 13-year-old GhostOfClayton's history teacher, I'd be telling you lot all about Ancient Rome by now, rather than the other way round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
