INTRODUCE THE PHOTOGRAPH
SHARE BACKGROUND
Have students study the model of Rome and the images that accompany it. Explain that this model represents the city at its greatest point during the time of the Roman Empire and that, in this chapter, they will learn about factors that contributed to its growth and development. ASK:: How does Rome resemble modern Possible responses: It has many cities you have seen? (Possible roads and buildings of different sizes. It contains places for entertainment and worship. It has an infrastructure that provides resources for its citizens.)
The model of imperial Rome was commissioned by Mussolini in 1933 to commemorate the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Caesar Augustus. Depicting the city during the time of the emperor Constantine, it is built on a scale of 1:250 and is more than 55 feet across. The model is currently on display at the Museum of Roman Civilization in Rome.
This model of Rome shows the city as it might have looked in A.D. 312. 269
