The Colosseum stands proudly upon the villainous Emperor Nero’s once grand Valley of the Golden House, projecting the munificence of Imperial Roman Architecture.

Deranked from society, they still managed to maintain a high charisma and attained significant amounts of glory.

The functions religious or otherwise, of the colosseum were irrelevant to the ultimate design of the architecture. “Once the colosseum had been built it seems to have become the model for many, if not most, of those that followed” (Hopkins and Beard 2005, 24).

Roman Fever is not only the title of a story by Edith Wharton, it is also a key to the plot in Daisy Miller: A Study by Henry James. In both stories the prevailing rumors of an illness that could be obtained by visiting a location after dark is used as a tool.

Roman architecture has influenced our modern-day society in many ways. One of the ways is by the construction of the Roman Colosseum in 72 A.D.
