Explanation:

Roman architecture was unlike that of preceding civilizations. The grandeur of Greek, Persian, Egyptian, and Etruscan structures was mostly external. The intent was for the buildings to be impressive from outside. These cultures relied on a post and lintel system that used two upright posts, like columns, with a horizontal block, known as a lintel, across the top. Since lintels are heavy, much of the interior space had to be used to support the heavy columns.

Just as America is a “melting pot” of culture, its architecture is an international blend as well. A good example is our nation’s capital. A “planned community” designed by Pierre Charles L’Enfant, Washington, D.C., reflects the influences of Egypt, classical Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, 19th century France, and others. This article will highlight three examples of classical Greek and Roman influences.
