Rom - Mars-Ultor-Tempel
The Temple of Mars Ultor was a sanctuary erected in Ancient Rome by the Roman Emperor Augustus in 2 BCE and dedicated to the god Mars in his guise as avenger. The centerpiece of the Forum of Augustus, it was a peripteral style temple, on the front and sides, but not the rear (sine postico), raised on a platform and lined with eight columns in the Corinthian order style.
According to Suetonius and Ovid, the young Octavian vowed to build a temple to Mars in 42 BCE just before the Battle of Philippi if the god would grant him and Marcus Antonius victory over two of the assassins of Julius Caesar, Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus. However, work did not commence on the temple until after the recovery of the Aquilae in 20 BCE that had been lost by Marcus Licinius Crassus in the disastrous Battle of Carrhae 33 years earlier. Originally, the Roman Senate had decreed that the returned standards were to be housed in a temple to Mars Ultor that was to be built on the Capitoline Hill. Augustus however, declared that he would build it at his own expense on the site of his new forum. Augustus’s decision to wait to fulfill his vow has been speculated to have been due to a reluctance to celebrate his victory over those who were seen as the defenders of Libertas, whereas the return of the standards, and its symbolic revenge against the Parthians, was a more acceptable victory to commemorate.
The temple was dedicated, albeit in an incomplete state, in 2 BCE, to coincide with Augustus’s celebration of his 13th consulship as well as his acceptance of the title Pater Patriae. The temple (and the forum within which it was placed) was part of imperial propaganda campaign to glorify and bring about an acceptance of the authority of the new Augustan empire. To the imperial regime, it was vital to accentuate the favour of the gods, as well as glorifying the ancestral figures and past of Rome, and so overcome the disorder of the civil wars that had plagued the state for over 50 years. In the words of Augustus himself, “I have fashioned this to lead the citizens to require me, while I live, and the rulers of later times as well, to attain the standard set by those great men of old.”
On the pediment of the temple was inscribed the name of Augustus, along with a series of reliefs honouring the divinities that played a part in influencing the outcome of battles and wars through their intercession. In the centre was the figure of Mars, flanked by the goddesses Fortuna and Venus. Next to these were the seated figures of Romulus (in the guise of an augur) and the goddess Roma in arms. Finally, in the gable corners were reclining figures of the personification of the Palatine Hill and Father Tiber.[6] It was to these divinities that Augustan propaganda ascribed the self-styled “victory” over the Parthians that saw the return of the lost standards during Augustus’s visit to Syria in 20 BCE (and to a lesser extent, his victory at the Battle of Philippi as an act of filial vengeance against the assassins of his adoptive father, Julius Caesar). Further, it also emphasized the role that the goddess Fortuna played his triple victory in Illyria (33 BCE), at the Battle of Actium and in Egypt defeating Cleopatra. Finally, the role of Mars Ultor was critical in Augustus’s attempts to refashion the events of his coming to power in a way that obscured the illegality of much of his actions during those years.
Within the temple there stood three statues. In the middle, a colossal Mars Ultor depicted in full military dress, holding a large spear in his right hand and a shield in his left. On the right side of the god stood a statue of the goddess Venus, with Cupid – it was Venus whom all of the gens Julia claimed descent from. To the left of the god was a statue of Julius Caesar, or more specifically ‘Divus Julius’, as he had been deified after a comet was seen in the sky during his funeral games.
In 19 CE, the emperor Tiberius added two arches, one on either side of the temple, and it was later restored during the reign of Hadrian. The temple was used by the Senate as a meeting place to discuss matters of foreign policy, discussions around declarations of war, and to make decisions for awarding triumphs. It also served as a reception place to meet foreign embassies. By the end of the 4th century, the temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire, when the Christian Emperors issued edicts prohibiting non-Christian worship. During the ninth century, an oratory church was built in the ruins of the temple, and was called the church of San Basilio in Scala Mortuorum. This church was mentioned in the 12th century Mirabilia Urbis Romae and by the late 19th century, the temple ruins was home to the convent of the nuns of Santa Annunziata.

Im Jahr 2 v. Chr. wurde das Augustusforum mit dem dazugehörigen Mars-Ultor-Tempel von Kaiser Augustus in Rom eingeweiht. Das Zentrum des Augustusforums bildet der Tempel des Mars Ultor, des rächenden Mars. Dieses Forum war das zweite der vier Kaiserforen in Rom. Es handelte sich dabei um eine Erweiterung des Forum Romanum.
Der Komplex mit Forum und Tempel wurde von Augustus schon im Jahre 42 v. Chr. geplant, jedoch dauerte es bis zu dessen Einweihung noch 40 Jahre. Ursprünglich erdacht zur Demonstration der Nachfolge Octavians und zum Andenken an die Schlacht bei Philippi (42 v. Chr.), diente es bei der Fertigstellung als Symbol der Prinzipatsideologie und der Versöhnung des Kaisers mit dem Senat.
Architektur und Standort
Das Tempelinnere war prachtvoll ausgestattet. Das Gebäude bestand aus Carrara-Marmor und acht korinthische Säulen säumten die Front, sowie die Seiten des Gebäudes. Im Zentrum des Tempels (Giebelfeld bzw. große Apsis) befand sich eine Statue von Mars, dargestellt als Friedensstifter und nicht wie üblich als Kriegsgott – aber, durch einen Fuß auf der Weltkugel, immer noch als Zeichen römischer Weltherrschaft. Zu seiner Rechten standen Venus und Rom, zur Linken Fortuna und Romulus. Kapitol und Tiber waren durch allegorische Figuren dargestellt.
In den Säulenhallen und Exedren standen Statuen und Büsten von siegreichen Feldherrn, verdienten Beamten, Königen, mythologischen Figuren und Dichtern. Sechzig Karyatiden sowie weibliche Gebälkträgerinnen verkörperten die Unterwerfung fremder Völker. Vor dem Tempel stand mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit eine Quadriga, die Augustus im Triumph zeigte. Die Sockelinschrift lautete "pater patriae" – Vater des Vaterlandes. Die Ruinen des Augustusforums wurden ab 1200 für Paläste genutzt. Der Komplex befand sich im Zentrum Roms, nordöstlich des Kapitols. Er schloss unmittelbar an das Forum Iulium an.
Funktion und Bedeutung
Das Tempelareal wurde bewusst direkt in den Wohnsiedlungen errichtet, um Augustus als Herrscher darzustellen, der die Kommunikation zu seinem Volk sucht. Es diente zur Aufbewahrung von Caesars Schwert sowie der 20 v. Chr. von den Parthern wiedergewonnenen Feldzeichen. Außerdem wurden hier die Lorbeerkränze der Triumphatoren niedergelegt. Weiterhin wurden Statthalter, die man in die Provinzen entsandte, verabschiedet und der Senat traf Entscheidungen über Kriege und Triumphe. Des Weiteren fand hier die Anlegung der „toga virilis“ statt.
Durch das Augustusforum sollte der Kaiser als Teil der römischen Geschichte dargestellt werden. Er wurde hier mit den großen Persönlichkeiten der römischen Geschichte und Mythologie gleichgesetzt. Zudem diente es zur religiösen Darstellung Augustus, der seit 41 v. Chr. immer mehr Priesterämter übernahm.

I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day !
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way !
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair.
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day.

Next we wandered into Build & Test. This is the most interactive part of Legoland when it comes to building things. They even had Lego Mindstorms (programmable robots, like what Molly and I did after school), but you had to sign up for a 45 minute class in future time slots which was more than the girls were up for. But they also had cars that kids could build and race.
This build is for Challenge 3 - Space & Time Distortion (Category A) in Andromeda's Gates on Eurobricks.
B08 - Greater Direstan - Large continents, fertile plains and Awesomnium packed mountain ranges.
Contest Rules - Rebuild a previous AG creation from another player from another corporation as if he/she was part of your corporation. The new and original builds must be similar in shapes and functionnality but not identical.

I needed to build a small woodshed outside of my Craftsman home and had not been able to find any designs that went well with the house. While there are a number of excellent sources on craftsman interiors, exteriors, furniture, etc., there really isn't much to help in the way of craftsman outbuildings.
I combed through my issues of "The Craftsman" and many other sources in search of an example of what a "Craftsman" style woodshed might look like, to no avail.
I finally decided to adapt a design that I found at: www.woodheat.org/firewood/woodshed.htm
The simple design looks to me like it is in the Craftsman style. The post & beam construction is similar to what I envision the future pergola will look like off of the back of our veranda. The plan was very straightforward and took me a little more than a weekend to complete construction.
The shed is 5' deep and 12' wide. The front posts are 7' high and the rear posts are 5' high. The six posts and two horizontal beams are pressure treated 6"x"6". The side and rear slats are 5/8 x 6". Roofs joists are 2x4's notched to the beams. The roof decking is made of 1x6's. Diagonal supports are cut from a 4x4. I had some winterguard and drip edge leftover from our home construction and picked up just over a square of shingles to finish off the roof.
The six posts each rest on and are strapped to concrete pillars that are poured down below the frost line. The site had quite a bit of slope from left to right, so I backfilled and leveled with gravel. This should also help keep things dry.

This scene shows one of the many skirmishes that followed the attempt by the central government of Losalj to civilize the citizens of the South Cimpini Forest, which involved a large-scale military invasion of the sprawling woodland.
