he also wrote a history of florence, starting with roman times.nd in this great work, he put historical writing onto a new footing, both in terms of its literary content and its scholarly underpinning. and there he lies, his history on his breast, surrounded by wealth of classical detail, his bier supported by the roman eagles and his hope of heaven in the roundel of the virgin and child above his head. this monument in itself is a wordless combination of the christian and the classical. this is the pantheon, the most perfectly preserved temple of ancient rome. scholars like bruni and the artists of renaissance florence had a passionate love affair with antiquity. the humanists recovered and translated the texts, the artists studied the statues and the frescoes. but they were not simply copying the achievements of the ancient world-- they were transforming them. this renaissance design for an ideal city uses classical architecture to create a perfect environment based upon reason and order. and in perhaps the most famous image of man by a renaissa

the hapsburg holy roman emperors turned to rebuilding their ravaged land.ll along the danube, where bleak fortresses had guarded the river, a chain of magnificent abbeys was built. the victory over the turks meant that money was now available for grand enterprises. the monks' taxes paid for buildings rather than for weapons. these abbeys were meant to serve not only as religious communities, but also as hospices for the emperor. saint florian's abbey, begun in 1689, is the work of an italian and an austrian-- carlo carlone and jakob prandtauer. in true baroque fashion, the new abbey was a stage upon which royal ritual could be played out by the visiting emperor. paradoxically, the stage usually lacked its leading actor, for the emperor himself rarely visited any of the abbeys. but it didn't matter. the object was not imperial housing. it was to make a political point, to bear witness to the unity of christianity and empire. here we're dealing not with the glorification of an individual emperor, but with the need to assert the divine right to rule of an inst

christine romans is minding your business. she will join us later in this half hour. meanwhile, new developments this morning, more flights canceled, more planes idle. it is shaping up to be a rough, rough morning for american airlines and thousands of air travelers. 38 boeing 747s have been called in for maintenance and passengers on dozens more american flights will have to find another way to get where they're going today. if you're watching this from the airport, keep watching. you'll be watching for a while. all this because something called a seat lock plunger. that's the problem. the airline believes it's the culprit that caused passenger seats to come loose from the floor on three different flights. george howell is joining us live from the cnn center in atlanta. explain to us what this lock plunger is, how it works and how does american believe some of them came loose? >> john, good morning. it's basically a lock and pin system. and what we've learned from our affiliate, wfaa, they went out and spoke with american airlines, they learned it came down to this p

the most dramatic remnant of roman arles is its arena.imagine the roar of the fans packing this place nearly 2,000 years ago, as gladiators battled wild animals. the floor was covered with sand to absorb all the blood. the word "arena" actually means "sand." while the grand city of rome could afford exotic beasts, like tigers and lions, from faraway places, smaller towns like arles made do with snarly local beasts, like wild boar, bears, and so on. like in nimes, the arena in arles is still used for concerts, bullfights, and other spectacles. in tumultuous medieval times, locals bricked up the arches, turning the stadium into a fortified town. over a hundred humble homes were crammed within its circular defenses. three of its medieval towers survive. perhaps arles' most famous resident was a dutchman -- vincent van gogh. he was 35 when he moved here in 1888, and it was here that he discovered the light that inspired in him an explosion of creativity. van gogh, coming from the gray skies and flatlands of holland and paris, was inspired by

the romans prevail. and here, the discussion, the disagreement, the complexity - what caused the temple to be destroyed? and here we have this talmudic passage about vain hatred, and again, it says much about human relationships. but i want to take you to one last place in israel that relates to this, which is the western wall of that very temple, the supporting wall - all that's been left - and as kind of the dialogue, the ongoing dialogue. you may have heard it described as the wailing wall - well, it's not pejorative, as you will soon see, because i went up before this wall and they miked me, and i had some trepidation about whether this was an appropriate thing to do. and also, when i got up to that wall, we talk about numinous experience - whoa! i went up there and was not thinking anything about teleclasses or anything else; i was in awe of the power when you stand before that wall. in any event, you can in fact hear devout hasidic jews praying with the characteristic bobbing action, and what are t

roman persecution is intense. anger by the jews, who haven't accepted christianity- tensions within that community. a very difficult time. competition, still, with the roman mystery cults. so what is this religion meant to do? it's meant to bolster christian spirit in the face of martyrdom. so an apocalyptic theodicy- a religious one- says, "yes, you're suffering. yes, it hurts. yes, change is a bummer. but on the cosmic level, this is wonderful, because what's happening in heaven is the beginning of the end time, and that shows that just around the corner, you will be saved, you'll be vanquished." so you can bear up under it, and that's what we see. now the branch davidians, this is a classic religious apocalyptic theodicy, running in the minds of david koresh and his followers, in which they're at the end - time, they're on- he literally transfers, as we see in this roll-in; actually, we'll see it here very shortly- the actual plain of armageddon- he transfers it to the plains of texas. and in the minds of his f
