Description
Excerpt from The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome: A Companion Book for Students and Travelers
Each system has its own advantages, and claims representative writers. The chronological order helps us to follow the progress of Roman architecture, from the rude attempts of Etruscan masons to the golden centuries of Agrippa and Apollodorus; as well as the evolution of architectural types, from the round straw hut where the public fire was kept to the marble temple of Hestia, roofed with tiles of bronze; from the Casa Romuli to the Domus Aurea of Nero.
