With over 750 illustrations; Roman Buildings is a thorough and systematic examination of Roman architecture and building practice; looking at large-scale public buildings as well as more modest homes and shops. Placing emphasis on the technical aspects of the subject; the author follows the process of building through each stage -- from quarry to standing wall; from tree to roof timbers -- and describes how these materials were obtained or manufactured. The author also discusses interior decoration and looks at the practical aspects of water supply; heating and roads.

Beautiful designs; rich colorBy Green EyesI bought this in the early 90s. Its a beautiful book with large glossy pages on heavy stock. The designs are simple; of birds; dragons; flowers; birds and butterflies; and in gorgeous colors. The colors are more brilliant than the illustrations in the "Look inside" feature of the book description.I use the pages as wrapping paper or as covers for notebooks and bullet journals.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. great bookBy A.
