From my History of Architecture Notes - Roman Architecture

This post contains information on the influences of Roman Architecture viz. Social, Climatic, Geological, Religious etc. The Greek Architecture influenced the Etruscans and the Etruscans in turn influenced the Republican Roman Architecture. It further goes on to elaborate about the use of building materials by the Romans and the introduction of concrete.

It also contains notes on the characteristics of the Roman Public Buildings as the Forums, Temples, amphitheatres, Thermae, Tombs, etc.

I also found some notes later elaborating on Greek and Early Roman Architecture, which I plan to post next. Keep visiting this blog for more such information on History of Architecture.

Hope you find the notes useful.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a nice day!
