On horse, military tunic, constantly at war, had to fight. Only bronze equestrian statue of a Roman Empire that survives before Constantine. Commodus as Hercules, marble, 191 AD Bad emperor. Natural son of previous emperor. Fancied himself as Hercules. Lion pelt on head. Club in hand. Wanted to be worshiped as a god in his own time. Huge harem, incest, loved gladitorial combat. Ultimately was murdered. The Severans Septimius Severus and his family, painted wood, c. 200 AD Devil like two pronged beard. Caracalla, marble, early 3rd century AD Septimius' son, he decided to erase his brother from all art. Damning of a memory. Other brother got murdered. Part of military. Mean or determined ruler? Baths of Caracalla, Rome, c. 211-217 AD Massive building open to Roman citizens. Massive scale. Would have had at least 3 pools, could fit thousands of people. The Soldier Emperors Philip the Arab, marble, 244-249 AD Rapid succession of emperors. Not stable, looks worried. Didn't rule very long. Elagabalus, marble, undated Portrait of 17 year old emperor. Horrible ruler, dragged through streets and dumped in sewer. The Ludovisi Battle Sarcophagus, marble, c. 250 AD Coffin, shift to save body. Deeply carved relief. Late Empire The Tetrarchs, porphyry, c. 300 AD Tetra means 4. To anchor power 4 people shared the power. Divide empire into 4 parts. North, south, east, west. Primarily east and west. Each has a pair of rulers. Augustus is older figure, Ceasar is younger. Older has hand on younger. Abstracted. Equality. Purple stone, royal color.

Arch of Constantine, Rome, 312-315 AD Large scale architecture, decorative. Roundels, sculpture and pilasters. Mixed and matched ideas, actually took them from others like Hadrian, Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. Links him to good emperors. 3 arches. Constantine's Basilica, Trier, Germany, early 4th century AD Large, long and narrow hall. Basic outside, more elaborate inside. Now used as a church. Terms mosaic - little pieces put together. tesserae - individual stone tile parts. roundels - round reliefs oculus - opening in center of dome. coffers- niches in ceiling. indentations, feels lighter. basilica - meeting hall. tetrarchy - 4 rulers. Battle of Milvian Bridge - 312 AD, Constantine is upset with gods. Has a vision that drawing crosses on shields will help him win. Positive with Christianity after that. Edict of Milan - passed in 313 AD, Constantine guarantees religious tolerance.
