Based on decades of firsthand examinations of ancient sites throughout the Roman world, from Britain to Syria, the authors give close accounts of many sites no longer extant or accessible. They also consider how Roman construction and engineering expertise, as well as logistical proficiency, contributed to the making of bold and exceptional spaces and forms.

The authors explore the dynamic evolution and dissemination of architectural ideas, showing how local influences and technologies were incorporated across the vast Roman territory.

In this volume, Fikret Yegül and Diane Favro offer a comprehensive history and analysis of the Romanbuilt environment, emphasizing design and planning aspects of buildings and streetscapes. ROMAN ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM Since antiquity, Roman architecture and planning have inspired architects and designers.
