The building's exterior is mainly stone grey and navy blue. There are also decolored rectangles above the aquarium's entrance that bear resemblance to a few different types of naval flags. Upon entering vistors are greeted with a small waterfall leading into a freshwater tank containing salmonids. As you go through the building you eventually reach an open area with a open water filled enclosure below and five levels above and a small sub-floor below for viewing the blacktip reef enclosure. Each floor focuses on a specific environment or theme. The floor at the very top is a contained by the pyramid glass roof mentioned earlier and houses a greenhouse-like rainforest section. Afterwards visitors would pass down a spiraling slope that displays an Atlantic coral reef exhibit on the upper levels and a shark tank on the lower levels. This leads the vistor back to the starting part near the blacktip reef. Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.

Abstract A summary of the resource. <em>House R2 is a richly layered Roman residence shaped by four major construction phases that expanded its footprint and transformed its gardens from simple horti into elaborate peristyle landscapes.</em><br /><em>The house demonstrates how domestic architecture in Emporiae adapted to shifting social needs, urban boundaries, and elite display culture. Notes include building evolution, garden features, porticoes, and eastern expansions, based on Tang’s phasing and archaeological plans.</em> Description An account of the resource <p><em>House R2 (Tang R2) is an elite Roman domus in the Roman City of Emporiae, located near the forum. The building shows four major construction phases, which can be clearly understood through its plan and surviving architectural features. By comparing the archaeological drawings with the 3D reconstructions and excavation photographs, the transformation from two smaller atrium houses into one large, luxurious residence becomes visible.</em></p> <p><em>In the earliest phase (early 1st century BC), the property consisted of two separate houses, each with a central atrium opening to the western cardo and a simple rear garden (hortus). The layout at this stage is compact and symmetrical, following the typical Italic atrium-house model. In the second phase, one house (R2A) expanded dramatically by consuming both original gardens, extending eastward beyond the city wall, and adding a spacious 400 m² peristyle garden surrounded by porticoes. The rooms along this garden show a shift toward openness, natural light, and elite display culture.</em></p> <p><em>The later phases reveal further architectural refinement. The former hortus of the second house (R2B) was converted into another peristyle garden (35a) with porticoes on three sides and a curved wall with window openings toward the garden, an unusual and elegant feature visible in Tang’s reconstruction. The addition of a bath suite on the west and a monumental eastern hall (room 46) in the final phase demonstrates increasing wealth and a move toward villa-like comfort. The plans show extended porticoes forming wind protection, and the small painted altar with a serpent and cock suggests domestic cult activity tied to the garden spaces.</em></p> <p><em>From visual study of the plans, images, and garden reconstructions, House R2 can be understood as a residence that gradually evolved into a highly designed architectural environment where gardens, porticoes, and interior suites were integrated into a unified elite lifestyle.</em></p> https://www.worldarchitecture.artinterp2.org/files/original/21dfc682fa8069418d84094942992b87.jpg 34edaf3e9b527834197fc0f3fb56110f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Figured mosaics found in the nineteenth century are now lost. Partial excavations around 1965 disclosed a villa built around a central peristyle (14 x 10 m) with a garden in the center. A rill pool ran around the outside of the garden. On each side there was a fountain and semicircular extension of the pool into the planting area of the garden. https://www.worldarchitecture.artinterp2.org/files/original/466b3e8dbbe7ef247342f88b08efae21.jpg c3369bc06ead214c28713c69a8b83426 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Located in Hispania Tarraconensis, it is quadratically bounded on all four sides, though it is highlighted with a semicircle at the north side of the form. It has a central garden area that is led through from this semicircle and features at least four different areas surrounding it. Located near the upper semicircle on both sides are thought to be changing rooms. This stems from the idea that the main garden land was thought to be a swimming pool. It is worth noting that these changing rooms were thought to be shared by both sexes of the inhabitants. The long sides of the main land are courtyards. These assist in being space for those not swimming, bathing or changing clothes. The baths sizes are impressive as they come in at around 55 x 95 m and they surround the large main garden in the center which brings the entire space into frame.
