Architecture, art or science?
2008.01.23 15:13

I like science for its ability to concretize and communicate a "world view".

I like art for its applied systematic study of natures.

I like architecture for its demonstration that science and art are not necessarily two different things.

The temple of Iuno Lucina was built in 375 B.C. It stood in a grove on the slope of the Cispius, overlooking the Subura, and near the sixth chapel of the Argei. This would place it west of the church of S. Prassede, near the via dei Quattro Cantoni. Little is known of the later history of this temple, except that in 41 B.C. a murus Iunonis Lucinae was either built or restored, and that the edifice itself continued to exist during the empire. The annual festival of the Matronalia was celebrated here on March 1, and votive inscriptions to Juno have been found in the neighborhood.
