Description:
|
The Ancient Roman Gymnasium or Academy of Letters. The ancient Greece, the gymnasium was a place for education in gymnastics, music, and grammar. Nero introduced the gymnasium to Rome and built the first one, but the idea did not catch on. By the title that Lauro gave this image, it seems that the Gymnasio was a school for letters and academics. Now the term refers to a preparatory course before college or university in Europe.
