Early Roman architecture borrowed much from the Hellenic styles of the Greeks but slowly developed a uniquely Roman style that they spread across their empire which spanned three continents. Here is a concise handbook to the very finest examples of Roman temple architecture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
