Although modernized, the use of propaganda as a tool for approval can be traced back through the Roman Empire and just prior, to Gaius Julius Caesar. The rise of the Roman Empire began shortly after the death of Caesar, and many of the emperors followed closely in his footsteps with the use of architecture as propaganda as he had done.

William Shakespeare (within the class system of Elizabethan England) did not seem intended for enormity. He was not born into a gracious or wealthy family. He did not continue his formal education at university, nor did he take guidance of a senior artist. He didn’t marry to a wealthy or prestigious family.

Honoratus greeted them on the terrace of his villa, aptly named the “Domus Veneta,” it being the headquarters of the Blue Faction of Leptis Magna.

Thermopylae was a natural choke point and had been the site of other battles like that of the 300 Spartans (Taylor 123). Antiochus’ army is formed of 14,500 men including 10,000 of his own infantry, 500 cavalry and, 4,000 of the Aetolian leagues’ and other allies (Taylor 124). The Roman army of 22,000 engaged the Seleucid one by initially driving Antiochus’ allies from the mountains bordering the pass (Appian, S.18). Then the Roman army properly attacked the phalanx but before long the fleeing…
