She [Carlson] also chooses to see similarities where none exist,
between buildings of widely differing cultural contexts, none of
which,
when looked at in the cold light of day, have more than a superficial
similarity to the Newport Tower. Her approach is like saying, "the
Newport Tower has arches, the Rome Coliseum has arches, was the
Newport Tower built by the Romans?" or, "the Newport Tower is a
rotunda, the centre of the Capitol is a rotunda, therefore the Capitol
was built by the same person."

But why do they always ignore Theodorik's mausoleum in Ravenna? :-)

Guess if right should be right we have to add one of the smaller buildings
or what one should call it in the area where the Byzantine Roman Emperors
were built as well Athanaric was burried there :-)
