1). Ancient Roman Coliseum By : Richard Monk
Ancient Rome was the dominant power for hundreds of years and left a mark on the word. The ancient Roman Coliseum is the single structure that most exemplifies this fact.
Ancient Roman Coliseum
Perhaps the most well-known of all of the structures in Rome, the ancient Roman Coliseum is an important part of the history of the Roman Empire. This structure, built in the 70's AD, was once the most important site in all of Rome, and also the largest amphitheater built in the Empire.

2). French and English Gardens of the Middle Ages By : Robert Erickson
The Roman de la Rose gives the best possible idea of both the French and English gardens of the Middle Ages. It was chiefly written by Guillaume de Loris, in the first half of the thirteenth century, and was probably well known in England before it was translated by Chaucer into English. There are several manuscript copies of it containing descriptions in the text, accompanied by illustrations giving vivid pictures of the pleasure garden.

3). Orchards in English Pleasure Gardens By : Robert Erickson
The orchard in the Middle Ages was practically indistinguishable from the garden or pleasure garden. The orchard in those days contained, besides a variety of fruit trees, herbs for medicinal and culinary purposes and a few flowers, also fountains, seats, and the other architectural features of the pleasure garden.
Many fruit trees are said to have been imported from France, especially in the thirteenth century, and hence were known by French names.

4). The Gardens at Hampton Court By : Robert Erickson
There was no abrupt transition from the style of the Middle Ages to that of the Renaissance in English gardens. Many Gothic features were long retained, of which remnants are still in evidence: the carved stonework, the conduits, the walks, and arbors. Trelliswork, as used to surround the beds, remained in fashion with slight variations throughout the reigns of the Tudors.
