Novosedoff Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) The Pantheon, where some of the senatorial meetings were held under the emperor Hadrian, must have been the main inspiration for the famous painting by Cesare Maccari, namely, Cicero Denounces Catiline. The problem however was that at the time of both Cicero and Catiline (64-62 BC) the Senate's meetings were held not in the round buildings. Curia Hostilia had the rectangular basement as well as the later Curia Cornelia (starting from 52 BC) and survived Curia Julia (from 44 BC). The semicircle Roman Comitium was under the open sky. Sometimes Russian students are asked this question in the exams: what's wrong with the painting? Edited July 17, 2022 by Novosedoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
