The architects of ancient Rome developed a vibrant and enduring tradition, inspiring those who followed in their profession even to the present day. This original book is the first to explore their approach to design. Mark Wilson Jones draws on both new archaeological discoveries and his own analyzes of the monuments to reveal how Roman architects went about the creative process. Wilson Jones begins by outlining the state of knowledge regarding Roman architects, Vitruvius in particular, as well as the dynamics of design as illuminated by surviving architectural drawings and models. Then, in a series of thematic chapters dedicated to the plan, the elevation, and the principal distributive element of Roman buildings, the Corinthian column, he focuses on underlying patterns of design that transcend function and typology. The success of Roman architecture is shown to rest on a robust yet subtle synthesis of theory, beauty, content, and practicality. At the same time, it maintains a vital equilibrium between the apparently conflicting goals of rule and variety. The next part of the book focuses on two singularly enigmatic monuments, Trajan’s Column and the Pantheon, to illustrate how architects might bend principles to circumstance. The author resolves long-standing controversies over their conception, showing how both structures came to be modified after work on the site had begun. Even the Romans’ mighty building machine had to come to terms with the gap between ideals and the physical realities of construction.

In this magisterial two-volume book, Pier Luigi Tucci offers a comprehensive examination of one of the key complexes of Ancient Rome, the Temple of Peace. Based on archival research and an architectural survey, his research sheds new light on the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque transformations of the basilica, and the later restorations of the complex. Volume 1 focuses on the foundation of the complex under Vespasian until its restoration under Septimius Severus and challenges the accepted views about the ancient building. Volume 2 begins with the remodelling of the library hall and the construction of the rotunda complex, and examines the dedication of the Christian Basilica of SS Cosmas and Damian. Of interest to scholars in a range of topics, The Temple of Peace in Rome crosses the boundaries between classics, archaeology, history of architecture, and art history, through Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period.

Les fontaines monumentales constituaient des marqueurs essentiels du paysage urbain de l'Antiquité. Dans les villes du Maghreb romain et tardo-antique, elles occupaient une place privilégiée que leur accordaient peu d'autres régions de l'empire. Cet ouvrage prend en considération les provinces romaines d'Afrique, entre Atlantique et Tripolitaine, au cours des six premiers siècles de notre ère. Les nalyses et les résultats de cette recherche se fondent sur un catalogue d'édifices et un corpus épigraphique inédits. Soulignant les enjeux passés et présents dans l'étude de l'hydraulique antique, l'enquête retrace l'histoire des explorations archéologiques en Afrique du Nord, pour s'intéresser ensuite aux relations entre terminologie et classifications typologiques modernes et dresser un tableau de l'évolution morphologique des fontaines monumentales antiques. L'analyse technique et architecturale des édifices constitue le coeur de cette étude qui prend également en compte la gestion des aménagements hydrauliques et la perception des fontaines dans le tissu urbain. Il s'agit ici de considérer les fontaines monumentales comme des composantes de la ville et du réseau hydraulique. Cette réflexion envisage ainsi l'ensemble de la circulation et des usages de l'eau et ambitionne plus largement de penser la civilisation urbaine, les aménagements de la ville antique et ses transformations sur la longue durée.
