building Projectes

• Servius under took 2 major building Projects:

  • Servian Wall
  • Temple of Diana
• Rome had expanded so mush that he moved the ancient sacred boundary - the pomerium
• The remains of the Servian wall suggests that it was built in the 4th Centaury not the 6th centaury
• The temple of Diana was seen to be a political move as well as beatifying Rome. As Servius thought that building the temple in Rome meant that it was the capital of the city.
• The temple of Diana was built because Ephesus, a major city in Asia minor, was rebuilding their great temple of Artemis. This inspired Servius to build a temple to Diana in Rome.
