Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Pantheon, insulae (which were Roman apartment buildings), or bath complexes (feel free to insert a picture in the discussion as well of your topic that might be cool, if you cannot get picture to post, please send discussion without picture.

• Social Issues -such as cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation, Religion
• Entertainment issues – such as Theater, games, safe place to get together
• Political issues- such as government, administration, maintain law and order

3. How has your choice impacted modern buildings? This part should be easy; all of these building structures have left an impact on modern building styles and techniques.
