Typical Mythical Imagary

Romans lived in an art filled city, where one could find inscriptions and erections of statues in a mans honor almost anywhere they went. One such place is in Region Eight of Rome, where the Rostra can be found. This elevated platform, where great orators gave speeches, was the home of statues erected to dedicate the great Romans who helped sustain and found the city. Many great columns with inscriptions and drawings could also be found there. Such scenes as great battls or other related scenes which paraded the glory of Rome could be found there also. This place was the centerpiece of art in the Roman Forum.
