Greco-Roman temples like the Parthenon and Temple of Jupiter seem to have very simple floor-plans. Typically a rectangular foundation with a deep porch full of pillars and one large room in the back. How would a lay person have typically interacted with this?

One of the Emperor Constantine's nephews was named Hannibalianus. At the time, what would it mean to be named after Hannibal? When in Roman history did Hannibal go from being a bogey-man to someone worthy of respect or admiration?
