the building

the building is made of tonnes of old bricks,each 50 cm by 25 cm by 25 cm. They are a limestone white mainly,but black ones, added for effect, are made of granite. There are arches throughout the roman style mansion, adding effect and strength. The main complex consists of four stories, but there are also baths, acting venues, and extra entertaining facilities. the most spectacular thing about it is the chess board, made from slabs of limestone  and granite. the chess pieces are as wide as the palm of your hand, and as tall as your elbow to your fingertips. Each slab is 25 cm by 25 cm. It is the biggest chess board in the ancient world. The mansion also houses the largest bowling alley room for all types of bowls, and the fourth largest mane made swimming pool, with water supplied from geothermal springs brought by an aqueduct into the indoor-outdoor pool, half inside a large hall with  an immense arch, letting the pool go out into the sunshine.
