The author of a classic work on the architecture of imperial Rome
here broadens his focus to present an original study of urban
architecture in Roman market towns, port cities, veterans'
colonies, and major metropolitan centers throughout the empire.
"Simply the best book on Roman urbanism [that] I know. . . . A
formidable breakthrough. It brings to life the genius of Roman
urbanism and reveals its continuing relevance for present urban
planning and architecture."-Leon Krier, Architects Journal "In this
very fine book-the successor to his Introductory Study-William L.
MacDonald lays before the reader the physical evidence of what a
Roman city was like for its inhabitants. . . . The illustrations in
An Urban Appraisal, this second volume of The Architecture of the
Roman Empire, are superbly chosen, illuminating the text as well as
being interesting in themselves. . . . It is a joy to find a book
so attractively designed, worthy of both its author and his
subject."-Martin Henig, The Times Literary Supplement Winner of the
1986 Alice Davis Hitchcock Award of the Society of Architectural
Historians for the most distinguished work of scholarship in
architectural history.
