The book deals with the thermal complex built in Rome by the
emperor Caracalla between 212 and 216/217 A. D., parts of which
were finished by his successors Elagabal and Alexander Severus, and
in particular with its architectural decoration columns with their
bases and capitals, entablatures and other architectural parts in
marble. The surviving elements and fragments are listed in a
comprehensive catalogue by their function, sort of marble, their
type and form, with single types of architectual elements emerging
from the resulting groups. In the text these architectural elements
are examined in two directions: Firstly about their position within
the framework of the Roman architectural decorations, about models
and parallels of the ornaments used and naturally also about their
pecularities; a whole chapter deals with the capitals, treating
especially the well-known figured capitals from the frigidarium and
their importance for the representative character of the decoration
mainly in the transverse axis of the thermal building. Secondly the
measures of the single architectural parts are analyzed and grouped
into different columnal orders, taking into consideration also
older documentations from the Renaissance to the early 19th
century. On the base of photogrammetric documentations of the
single rooms, of other measurements, again of older drawings and
insofar as they exist some photographs documenting the position of
the finds at the moment of the excavation, the single reconstructed
orders are assigned to their supposed locations. In a number of
plates these proposed reconstructions are presented in
computer-based drawings, the single architectural elements and
fragments are documented in an extensive volume of illustrations.
