the Roman provinces, this volume now contains the latest insights
into Roman architecture and takes account of the past 20 years of
scholarship. This seminal work covers the architecture of the
Republic, the Age of Augustus, the imperial period, Pompeii and
Ostia, the eastern and western empire, and the Late Antique period,
exploring subjects such as patronage, building techniques and
materials, Roman engineering, town planning and imperial propaganda
in a concise and readable way. Illustrated with nearly 300
photographs, maps and drawings, Roman Architecture continues to be
the clearest introductory account of the development of
architecture in the Roman Empire.

This book is a definitive architectural study of Roman theatre
architecture. In nine chapters it brings together a massive amount
of archaeological, literary, and epigraphic information under one
cover. It also contains a full catalogue of all known Roman
theatres, including a number of odea (concert halls) and
bouleuteria (council chambers) which are relevant to the
architectural discussion, about 1,000 entries in all. Inscriptional
or literary evidence relating to each theatre is listed and there
is an up-to-date bibliography for each building. Most importantly
the book contains plans of over 500 theatres or buildings of
theatrical type, as well as numerous text figures and nearly 200
figures and plates.
