The monumental and technically highly sophisticated architecture of the Roman Empire, which can be found for example in the Forum Romanum, the baths and the aqueducts, continues to fascinate all who set eyes on it. This volume traces the development of Roman architecture throughout Italy, Gaul, Spain, the Rhineland and North Africa from 800 B.C. to A.D. 330. From the Etruscans to Republican Rome and the eventual fall of the Roman Empire, this publication takes the reader on a vivid journey to Hadrian`s Villa in Tivoli, Nero`s Domus
Aurea in Rome and the lost cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
