uild the Colosseum. Vespasian's son Titus built a great triumphal arch, and his other son
Domitian built a great palace for himself on the Palatine hill.
Even though Domitian was assassinated in 96 AD, later architects continued to use
the techniques that had been developed for his palace, just as later emperors continued to
live in Domitian’s palace. Trajan’s architect used brick and concrete arches to build a new
forum with a big column in it and an elaborate market building that is the source of
modern shopping malls. Trajan also built the first major public bath building in Rome. It
may have been the same architect who later designed Hadrian’s Pantheon, a temple to all
the gods, which used brick and concrete to build a huge dome. Nobody would build a
bigger dome for more than a thousand years.
In the provinces of the Roman Empire, people were also building forums, temples,
bath buildings, amphitheaters and apartment blocks, though generally on a smaller scale
than those at Rome.
