Spot the Classics

Soccer is known all over the world and my favorite team is FC Barcelona, the point is that its stadium (The Camp Nou) because of the structure it has, seems like a classic amphitheater, and also have a similarity to the Coliseum in Rome due to the oval shape design.

Nelson’s column is a monument in central London to commemorate Heratio Nelson, a British admiral. This column has a height of 46 meters and a 5.5 meters height statue, with a Corinthian capital based in the Augusuto’s Forum in Rome. The Corinthian style was used in the ancient Greece in so many monuments.

A lot of movies in the actuality are based in the ancient Greece culture, specially in the Greek mythology. One example is the movie: “Immortals”, which is based in the Greek myths of Theseus, it also has appearances of other gods like Zeus, Poseidos and Ares.

I like a lot to play video games, specially the action ones (war), some videogames are inspired in the ancient cultures and I have one that is inspired in a war in Rome, where you are playing as a soldier that fights against the barbarian,in order to take revenge of his father's death. .  I liked it a lot because of the style of gaming but principally the plot of the story. The name of this videogame is: Ryse Son of Rome.

The Rotunda is building in the University of Virginia constructed in the years between 1822 and 1826. This building reminds me of the typical building in the ancient Greece constructed with columns and also with a Pediment at the top of it. The front of The Rotunda looks like the Parthenon in Athens. There is also a replica in the US of this building.
