Good job with the article. I like the picture and various details.However, some slight changes could be made. When you mention the “Golden House,” discuss the Roman population’s opinion of this structure (Professor Strong discussed this is class). Also, maybe you could add a line telling the purpose of the baths and how their location on Campus Esquilinus related to their purpose. Also, the last paragraph does not really flow. I think you need to add some transitions and overall edit it (praetor not preator). The sentence about the animals seems randomly placed (I think you might be referring the manure and carcasses. If so, make that clear. If not, then elaborate.). I think you should elaborate the entire “Functions” section a bit. Other than this, I think you have a pretty good article.- Ailia Ali
Hey this is a really good article. Concise and informative, which I'm sorry to say, leaves little for me to critique you on. Here are a few suggestions:
You might want to specify who was buried on the grounds because you mentioned how they were "significant people". Also, you may want to specify what "lavish buildings" were there. Otherwise, I think your article is great.

Somebody deleted the image (not me), so I deleted the image metadata. Below is a copy of what I removed:
