In this comprehensive, accessible and beautifully illustrated book, Frank Sear traces the evolution of Roman architecture during the four centuries from the late Republic to AD 330, when Constantine moved the empire's capital to Constantinople.

With over 200 diagrams, maps and photos, this lucid and eminently readable account is a detailed overview of the development of architecture from Augustine to Constantine.

Covering building techniques and materials as well as architecture and patronage, features include:

* deployment of the most recent archaeological evidence
* consideration of building materials and methods used by Roman engineers and architects
* examination of stylistic innovations
* analysis of the historical and cultural contexts of Roman architecture
* detailed exploration of key Roman sites including Ostia and Pompeii.

In high demand since its initial publication, this book will not disappoint in its purpose to educate and delight those in the field of Roman architecture.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very complete survey of Rome
Reviewed in Italy on 18 October 2015

Frank Sear gives us a complete resume of Roman architecture. Concise paragraphs
describe the development of an architectural canon designed to enhance the identity
of the Republic firts, of the Empire later.
Really it is really a "comprhensive and accessible book".
A reccomended one.

3.0 out of 5 stars art study

quality is really good, but I thik that for art studying the book should obtain pictures or at least html link for online pictures since it is e-book. There are some pcts in this e-book, but extremely small. This is the only disadvantage I discerned.

3.0 out of 5 stars A dry read but informative

If roman architecture is your 'thing' then this is an ok book. I found it choppy in places and a very dry read. I only bought the book as a required textbook for class.
