- 1 Want to read
In Roman Architecture and Society James C. Anderson, Jr., offers the first book to explore fully the place of architecture and the building industry in the context of Roman life.
Focusing primarily on Rome and other cities of central Italy, Anderson describes the training, career path, and social status of both architects and builders. He explains how the construction industry was organized - from marble and timber suppliers to bricklayers and carpenters. He examines the political, legal, and economic factors that determined what would be built, and where. And he shows how the various types of Roman buildings relate to the urban space as a whole.
