Scholarship has frequently focused on an imagined fi nal state for such structures, yet as enduring, costly undertakings these architectural projects lived complicated lives. Th ey evolved from original creation through repairs, alterations, reuse, destruction, rebuilding, decay, and demolition over many years.

Simultaneously, bustling construction sites and in-progress structures entertained the populace and continuously affi rmed Roman cultural values.
