Synopsis: |
These essays explore the emergence of scale and monumentality as key factors in pre-Imperial Roman and Etruscan building and the social and political strategies which they reflect. They address questions both of technical developments and an evolving language of power and commemoration. Topics include the use of more durable building materials, the evolving use of architectural terracottas, and the development of an architectural paradigm of monumentality in the Capitoline temple, and the interplay between performance, ritual and monumentality. |
