This is a discussion questions assignment, you need reply to these two question and no more than 250 words for each answer. I will also post other student's answer, so you can use them as a sample and also you won't repeat their answer.
Question 1:
The Parthenon vs the Pantheon
These two ancient wonders are great embodiments of the cultural values of the ancient empires that create them. Here I am asking for very specific responses so choose one the following and post a specific answer to the differences between them:
the use of specific types of columns
the purposes
the locale and placement within city
materials used
external design features
internal design features
Let's start with these - read the thread first and don't repeat others - there are lots of fun resources in the course to use including virtual tours, documentaries that you can skim etc!
