Answer
# Brief Explanations:
1. The architectural orders are identified by their distinct capitals: Corinthian (acanthus leaves), Ionic (volutes/scrolls), and Tuscan (simple, similar to Doric but with a base).
4. The velarium was a retractable awning system used in Roman amphitheatres and theatres to shield spectators from the sun.
5. The Colosseum was constructed on the site of Nero's Domus Aurea, symbolically returning the land to public use after his unpopular reign. It served as a venue for public spectacles.
6. Etruscan art, exemplified by the Sarcophagus of the Spouses, often depicted women participating more actively and equally in social life (like banqueting alongside men) compared to contemporary Greek society and art.
7. Large terracotta sculptures like the Sarcophagus of the Spouses presented technical challenges for firing. Creating and firing it in multiple sections was necessary to prevent cracking and ensure structural integrity.
