Greek and Roman architecture
Authors:R. A. Tomlinson, British Museum Trustees

In this book, Richard Tomlinson traces the development of classical architecture around the Mediterranean, Europe and Asia Minor from the earliest hut habitations in Greece and Italy through to the definitive Greek "orders" clearly distinguishable by the early sixth century B.C. These features were to remain essential in classical architecture for over a millennium. He shows how the Romans continued and enhanced the Greek and Hellenistic traditions in Italy and throughout the Empire and how different materials-thatch, stone, terracotto, the earliest concrete and brick-led to changes in the form of building design. Not only temples and tombs but domestic dwellings, theatres and public halls are discussed in the context of history of the period
