This book looks at the origins of ancient Roman garden design and
its Greek influences. It includes the use and design of private
domestic gardens as well as those connected to theatres and
temples. Gardens connected to mausolea are also included. It shows
how rooms were designed to afford the best views of the gardens.
Special attention is paid to Roman water gardens, their pools and
fountain designs. Nymphaea, garden ornaments, sundials, trellising,
topiary and plants are included. The many illustrations are drawn
from the author's collections and have been taken over decades of
study throughout the Roman empire. Anthony Beeson is a board member
of the Association for Roman Archaeology, a prolific writer of
papers on Roman art and architecture, and has lectured on the
subject of Roman gardens.
