In Roman art and coinage, she is usually depicted in military form, with helmet and weapons. Roma's official cult served to advance the propagandist message of Imperial Rome. In Rome, the Emperor Hadrian built and dedicated a gigantic temple to her as Roma Aeterna ("Eternal Rome"), and to Venus Felix, ("Venus the Bringer of Good Fortune"), emphasising the sacred, universal and eternal nature of the empire. On some coinage of the Roman Imperial era, she is shown as a serene advisor, partner and protector of ruling emperors. Her "Amazonian" iconography shows her "manly virtue" ( virtus) as fierce mother of a warrior race, augmenting rather than replacing local goddesses. Images of Roma had elements in common with other goddesses, such as Rome's Minerva, her Greek equivalent Athena and various manifestations of Greek Tyches, who protected Greek city-states among these, Roma stands dominant, over piled weapons that represent her conquests, and promising protection to the obedient.
She was portrayed on coins, sculptures, architectural designs, and at official games and festivals. She was created and promoted to represent and propagate certain of Rome's ideas about itself, and to justify its rule. In ancient Roman religion, Roma was a female deity who personified the city of Rome and more broadly, the Roman state. From left to right when facing the temples, they are: The Temple of Spes (goddess of hope), Temple of Juno Sospita ('Juno the saviour' queen of the gods, goddess of women, art and protector and special counselor of the state) and finally the Temple of Janus (god of the beginning and the end, and god of doors and doorways/openings).Roma on a denarius, 93-92 BC ( Walters Art Museum) The three temples that were built all stood next to eachother and were dedicated to various gods and goddesses. Like the other Roman fora, the Forum Holitorium was also considered a sacred place with various temples being located near it. The square of the Forum was surrounded by a porticus known as the Porticus Triumphi, as the Via Triumphalis road crossed through it towards the Porta Triumphalis. The Forum Holitorium was used for selling vegetables, spices and olive oil. Located just outside the Porta Carmentalis, the Forum Holitorium was a forum venalium in Rome, meaning it was a food market rather than a political center (like the Forum Romanum).

Roma invicta roma aeterna download#
Please note: Once I've finished with the Beautification Updates I'll update the map download as well. So no new building for a while, first I need everything that I've already constructed to be 100% good, then I'll continue adding new stuff.

Some building miss a lot of detail (Forum Romanum), some are in the wrong location (Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus) and some don't even look like the actual building at all (House of the Vestal Virgins)! These Beautification Updates will therefor focus on fixing all the problems with the existing buildings. These updates are going to replace a lot (basicly all) of the buildings with better versions for various reasons. Right now I'm working on a project called the 'Beautification Updates'. Show your support by sharing this build or by placing a comment! All the buildings are made as accurate as possible, following historical maps, drawings, writings and descriptions. All the buildings are on the original locations on scale 1:1. This is my remake of ancient Rome in the year 200AD, at the height of the Roman Empire.
