  the 
  sky, 
  but 
  the 
  rest 
  

   of 
  Rome 
  lay 
  low 
  and 
  

   dull 
  and 
  gray, 
  so 
  long 
  

   as 
  the 
  Republic 
  en- 
  

   dured. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  Sulla, 
  

   Tarquin's 
  temple 
  was 
  

   destroyed 
  by 
  fire, 
  and 
  

   to 
  replace 
  it 
  great 
  

   marble 
  columns 
  were 
  

   brought 
  from 
  Greece, 
  

   the 
  first 
  that 
  Rome 
  

   had 
  seen. 
  It 
  was 
  left 
  

   for 
  Augustus, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  to 
  proclaim, 
  "I 
  

   found 
  Rome 
  brick 
  and 
  

   I 
  leave 
  her 
  marble" 
  ; 
  

   with 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  the 
  

   emperors 
  comes 
  the 
  

   glorious 
  time 
  for 
  archi- 
  

   tecture 
  in 
  Rome. 
  

  

  In 
  whole 
  or 
  in 
  part, 
  

   we 
  have 
  much 
  of 
  it 
  

   today 
  — 
  mutilated, 
  de- 
  

   faced, 
  robbed, 
  scorned, 
  

   but 
  yet 
  testifying 
  to 
  

   the 
  glory 
  that 
  was 
  

   Rome. 
  It 
  varies 
  in 
  

   quality. 
  Of 
  three 
  con- 
  

   spicuous 
  arches, 
  the 
  

   triumphal 
  arches 
  that 
  

   Rome 
  loved 
  to 
  build, 
  

   that 
  of 
  Septimius 
  Se- 
  

   verus, 
  at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  

   the 
  Forum, 
  is 
  poor 
  

   (see 
  page 
  596) 
  ; 
  much 
  

   better 
  that 
  of 
  Titus, 
  

   twice 
  reconstructed, 
  

   beneath 
  the 
  Palatine 
  

   (see 
  pages 
  594 
  and 
  

   599) 
  ; 
  very 
  beautiful 
  

   that 
  of 
  Constantine 
  by 
  

   the 
  Colosseum, 
  "The 
  

   arch 
  whereby 
  the 
  

   Christian 
  Emperor 
  

   proved 
  himself 
  a 
  thief" 
  

   (see 
  page 
  595). 
  

  

  The 
  last 
  named 
  was 
  

   built 
  from 
  material 
  

   taken 
  from 
  the 
  Arch 
  

   of 
  Trajan, 
  built 
  in 
  

   "Rome's 
  golden 
  time," 
  

   which 
  accounts, 
  per- 
  

   haps, 
  for 
  its 
  loveliness. 
  

   It 
  suffered 
  less 
  at 
  

   Christian 
  hands 
  than 
  

   other 
  monuments 
  be-
