Building Roman Greece: Innovation in Vaulted Construction in the Peloponnese (Studia Archaeologica) by Paolo Vitti
Requirements: .PDF reader, 34 MB
Overview: This book discusses a selection of 29 vaulted Roman buildings in the Peloponnese dating from the 1st century BC to 3rd century AD. The research was carried out over ten years, until summer 2013. The research has been award the “”Grand Prix”” for the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage/ Europa Nostra Award on May 2014.
The study fills a gap in the studies of Roman construction, which have generally failed to seek innovation in the building techniques outside Central Italy. The research revealed the importance of Roman architecture in the Peloponnese and its contribution to the development of construction techniques. The significance of these structures had been hitherto only partially recognised and understood, because the few publications to have dealt in any depth with Roman architecture in the Peloponnese were conditioned by an excessive focus on the city of Rome, attributing only relative importance to the specific nature of local building traditions.
