In Rome itself the word forum denoted the flat and formerly marshy space between the Palatine and Capitoline hills (also called forum Romanum), which even during the regal period accommodated such public meetings as could not be held within the area Capitolina. In early times the forum Romanum was used for gladiatorial games, and over the colonnades were galleries for spectators; there were also shops of various kinds. Under the Roman Empire, when the forum became primarily a centre for religious and secular spectacles and ceremonies, it was the site of many of the city’s most imposing temples and monuments. Among the structures surviving in whole or in part are the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of the Deified Caesar, the Mamertine Prison, the Curia (Senate house), the Temple of Saturn, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Romulus, the Arch of Titus, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the Cloaca Maxima.
Also during the imperial period a considerable number of new forums, the fora civilia (judicial) and venalia (mercantile), came into existence. In addition to the forum Romanum, the forums of Caesar and Augustus belonged to the former class, the forum boarium (cattle), holitorium (vegetable), etc., to the latter.
The 1st-century-BC architect Vitruvius stated that the ideal forum should be large enough to accommodate a large crowd but not so large as to dwarf a small one. He proposed a 3:2 length-to-breadth ratio. It is to this proportion that Trajan’s Forum in Rome was erected early in the 2nd century AD. Commissioned by the emperor Trajan and designed by Apollodorus of Damascus, it measures approximately 920 by 620 feet (about 280 by 190 m) and covers about 25 acres (10 ha). Persons entered through a triple gateway into a colonnaded open space lined with merchants’ booths. The forum is flanked by two semicircular, colonnaded exedrae. Opposite the gateway is the Basilica Ulpia, beyond which is Trajan’s Column, carved with relief sculpture depicting Trajan’s victories. The aesthetic harmony of this space has influenced many subsequent town planners.

Als Zebroide werden Hybriden innerhalb der Gattung Pferde aus Kreuzungen zwischen einem Zebra und einer anderen Pferdeart bezeichnet. Aus praktischen Gründen (einfachere Aufzucht) wird dabei als Vater meist ein Zebra verwendet. Wie die meisten Hybriden aus verschiedenen Arten, wie Maultiere und Maulesel, sind auch Zebroide meist nicht fortpflanzungsfähig.
Le zébrule (aussi appelé zorse) est un animal hybride issu du croisement d'un zèbre et d'une jument. Connu depuis la fin du xixe siècle, il est l'objet d'un nouvel engouement en raison de son apparence originale, particulièrement chez les éleveurs américains.
Zorse är det engelska namnet på den sterila avkomman av en zebrahingst och ett häststo. Färgen är ljusbrun med ränder som hos zebran, manen och svansen är något mörkare. En zorse brukar vara något mellan 120-160 cm.
A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid. In most cases, the sire is a zebra stallion but not every time. The offspring of a donkey sire and zebra dam, called a donkra, and the offspring of a horse sire and a zebra dam, called a hebra, do exist, but are rare and are usually sterile. Zebroids have been bred since the 19th century. Charles Darwin noted several zebra hybrids in his works.[1]
Als Bichon (französisch für Schoßhund) werden verschiedene kleine, lang- bis kraushaarige Hunderassen bezeichnet. Die Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) gruppiert diese Rassen in der Gruppe 9, Sektion 1.1.
A bichon is a distinct type of toy dog; it is typically kept as a companion dog. Believed to be descended from the Barbet, it is believed the bichon-type dates to at least the 11th century; it was relatively common in 14th-century France, where they were kept as pets of the royalty and aristocracy.[1][2] From France, these dogs spread throughout the courts of Europe, with dogs of very similar form being seen in a number of portraits of the upper classes of Germany, Portugal and Spain; from Europe, the type also spread to colonies in Africa and South America.[2][3] The name "bichon" is believed to be a contraction of "barbichon", which means "little barbet".[4]
Zuchon or Shichon is a hybrid breed dog or a designer dog. They are a cross between Bichon Frisé and Shih Tzu.[1] Sometimes called the 'Teddy Bear' dog, Zuchons are not yet recognized as a breed by the America Kennel Club (AKC).
