The term "Roman Revival" refers to a movement in architecture and design that draws inspiration from the classical styles of ancient Rome. This revival emerged in the late 18th and 19th centuries, characterized by the use of columns, domes, and grand facades reminiscent of Roman buildings. It aimed to evoke the grandeur and permanence associated with ancient Roman structures. Key examples of Roman Revival architecture include the United States Capitol and the British Museum. These buildings often feature elements such as arches, pilasters, and decorative motifs that reflect the ideals of strength and beauty found in Roman design. The movement played a significant role in shaping neoclassical architecture in various parts of the world.
