Compass

For this "compass" i used the following definition
5. archaic a circular course
8. to achieve; attain; accomplish

Using the artifact of the Corinthian column in 2D form. I placed the Roman stable in the context of a re-imagined Basilica Ulpia. The Roman's achieved quite after the Greeks. When it comes to narrowing these accomplishments down though, the Corinthian column serves as a excellent way to navigate how the Romans designed. Taking many Grecian architectural forms and elaborating and expanding on them was some what of a standard for the Romans, who turned the supportive column into an exterior detail at the colosseum. The capital of the corinthian, made out of stone/marble is the most intricate of the orders and therefor represents Roman accomplishments the best.
