View of the same Curule Chair. The holes in site A formerly contained the metal tails of the aforementioned she-wolves, and served as bars to secure the bronze Sector B. On the band are these Letters of a Consul, i.e. Q. HORTENSIVS. P. F... N. COS. and it seems that there was the name of the other Consul, but the marble is corroded by time.

Re: militarism and freedom...
Utilizing (in this instance) a metabolic imagination, I am free to opine destructively as well. I, like all humans, have a series of operations going on within my body (which includes my mind).
If one equates or exchanges Imperialism for Capitalism, then US business/foreign policy does indeed act aggressively well beyond its own borders. If one agrees with Schumpeter (sp?) that Capitalism is 'creative destruction', then it is likewise easy to see how (any) militarism is closely related to capitalism.
In my (chronosomatic) opinion, the United States of America is our planets consummate Assimilating-Metabolic State. It absorbs, it creates, and it destroys, and it does all this in tandem more than anyplace else. The era of unrestricted expansion is now over, however. And a (re)new(d) structural duality is now beginning (East-West in simple global terms). (Again in my opinion) two centuries hence, the operation of assimilation on a large scale will diminish, while metabolism will then be the predominate modus operandi, keeping in mind the structural duality is steadily growing and strengthening as well.
Is the People's Republic of China also an Assimilating-Metabolic State? I venture the answer is probably yes, and likely more so than the West realizes.

Re: AFTER GREENBERG
I read Part I of Design and Crime, and now I'm reading At the End of an Age. Lukacs' focus on the last 500 years coincides with the chronosomatic study of the corporal cross-section comprising the area of peripheral skeletal hiatus between the crest of the hip bones and the lowest tips of the rib cage--the area of the human body where unrestricted expansion occurs most. Chronosomatics agrees with Lukacs that that 'era' is now past (given that circa 2000 AD coincides with the lowest tips of the rib cage, and, conversely, 1543 coincides with the navel, which, in turn coincides with the crest of the hip bones). I'm going to finish At the End of an Age specifically to see how Lukacs' explanation of what 'just' happened compares with the chronosomatic explanation of what 'just' happened, namely that there was unrestricted expansion particularly of European culture/civilization/thinking, and that gross assimilation occurred in the process, that a distinct operational duality--the metabolic--began to be present, and that longer ranging structure was overall always independently in the background.
While reading chapter one, "At The End of An Age," I often wondered if Lukacs is ever going to explain what ended 500 years ago when the 'Modern Age' began. Lukacs may indeed address this issue someplace in the rest of the book. According to chronosomatics, what ended 500 years ago was humanity's long history as planetary nomad, which corresponds to the bones of ambulation that became the past when the plane of the present transcended the crest of the hip bones, while what began was humanity as planetary (and briefly ex-planetary) navigator.

Re: iconodules
It seems fair to refer to Wren's London parish church designs (1670s to 1680s) as the paradigm for subsequent 'American' Protestant Churches. St. Paul's (Anglican) Cathedral, Wren's most prominent/iconic London church, however, reenacts St. Peter's (Roman Catholic) Basilica at Rome. And then, St. Paul's Cathedral is subsequently reenacted by the U.S. Capitol.
