Nero, 13 October 54 - 9 June 68 A.D.
|Nero|, |Nero,| |13| |October| |54| |-| |9| |June| |68| |A.D.|, The shopping mall is not a new idea. The Macellum Magnum was a shopping mall located on the Caelian Hill in Rome, dedicated by Nero in 59 A.D. The building had flanking wings of slightly different construction and a central dome which may have been 120 feet (36 meters) in diameter. Records indicate the mall was still open in the fourth century A.D. Part of it may be incorporated into the church of S. Stefano Rotundo which stands today.The Macellum Magnum appears to have been the model for many medieval government buildings in Europe, all the U.S. state capitols and the U.S. national capitol building.
