The Arch of Trajan in Ancona, Italy was erected between 100-116 AD by the Syrian architect Apollodorus of Damascus to honor Emperor Trajan. Trajan had expanded and fortified the port of Ancona at his own expense, which is why the arch is located in the port area. Made of Turkish marble, the arch originally featured an equestrian statue of Trajan on top and statues of his wife and sister on the sides. Inscriptions on the arch were gilded bronze but were stolen in the 9th century. It has since been renovated with new lighting to accentuate its structure.

The Protestant Perspective:
Civilization And The Protestant Reformation, by John W. Robbins
Martin Luther nailed 95 theological propositions challenging the sale of indulgences by the Catholic Church in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation. The Reformation established principles of democracy, constitutionalism, religious liberty, and a free market economy. It promoted the idea that all individuals have equal standing before God and law, weakening political and religious hierarchies. By translating the Bible into common languages, Luther empowered individuals to interpret scripture for themselves rather than rely on clergy. The Reformation transformed Western society, politics, law, and economics.

The document summarizes some of the key differences between Protestant and Catholic theology and practices during the Reformation period. The Protestant view emphasized salvation through faith alone, access to God for all believers without priests, and interpreting scripture independently. The Catholic view maintained that good works and the priesthood were necessary along with faith for salvation. Catholics saw scripture and tradition as revealing doctrine, while Protestants viewed the Bible as the sole source. Other differences included the number of sacraments, whether communion represented a repeated sacrifice, and the concept of predestination.
This document provides a condensed timeline of key events during the Protestant Reformation from 1440 to 1564. It highlights the roles of important figures like Martin Luther, John Calvin, Henry VIII and key Anabaptist leaders. Major events included Luther posting his 95 Theses in 1517, his appearance before the Diet of Worms in 1521 where he refused to recant, the Peasant's War from 1524-1526, and the publication of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536. The timeline also notes the growing persecution of Anabaptists and their beliefs in martyrdom, as well as developments like the English Act of Supremacy in 1534 that made Henry VIII the head of
Martin Luther critiques the power and authority of the papacy in three key ways:
1) He argues that the Roman Catholics have built "three walls" to protect themselves from reform - claiming sole authority over temporal power, sole right to interpret scripture, and sole right to call councils.
2) Luther asserts that these claims of sole authority have no basis in scripture and are only valid if not harmful to Christianity. When the pope deserves punishment, these claims no longer apply.
3) He contends that when necessity demands it, such as when the pope is an offense to Christianity, any person able should call a council without the pope's approval in order to punish the pope and
Martin Luther initiated the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by posting his 95 theses criticizing the Catholic Church. He advocated for a church founded on faith alone rather than works, in opposition to the corruption and power of the Papacy. Other reformers like Ulrich Zwingli and the Anabaptists further split from Luther over issues like the sacraments. Henry VIII broke from Rome for political reasons when the Pope did not grant his divorce. John Calvin split over the concept of predestination, and Protestantism continued fragmenting into various denominations like Calvinism. The Catholic Church launched a Counter-Reformation to combat the spread of Protestantism through measures like the Inquisition and Council of Trent.
