The increase in mosaics in churches in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine Era was largely due to the influence of the Roman Emperor Constantine (ruled from 306 to 337 AD). During his rule as emperor‚ Christianity became the major religion and there was a push for more buildings to house the followers of Christ. Along with the new buildings there was a need to decorate these places of worship accordingly and express the religion in a grandiose sort of way. Mosaics were generally the inexpensive and

The artwork of the Roman times consisted of mosaics with designs that give us insight into what every day Rome was like‚ and how architectural designs became more complex. The more common mosaics were designs of some mythological deities‚ warriors and gladiators. Other mosaics depicted common objects‚ wildlife‚ even symmetrical designs and symbols that show the art of precision and raw creativity combined. These greatly varying designs‚ mosaics‚ otherwise known as opus tessellatum‚ were made with

Lab #1: Melting Points of Organic Compounds Report Form May 15‚ 2014 1. A “Melting Point Range” refers to the range of temperature at which a solid melts into its liquid state. 2. Pure compounds have narrow or ‘sharp’ melting point ranges‚ 1°C or less if the compound is very pure. A less pure compound exhibits a broader melting point range‚ between 3°C to 10°C as well as a depressed or lower range. 3. Crushing the sample allows for greater surface area-to-volume ratio of the powder‚ this

Melting Point Determination and Thermometer Calibration Lab Background: The melting point of a substance‚ a solid in this case‚ signifies the temperature at which the first crystal starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal disappears is reached. That being said‚ melting points are expressed in ranges‚ am organic compound will have a sharp range depending on the purity of the compound. Impurity of an organic substance will register an abnormal melting point based on its
