10 May \u2013 Building Rome I \u2013 I found a city of bricks 17 May \u2013 Building Rome II \u2013\u2026.and made it a city of marble 31 May \u2013 Building Rome III \u2013 Roman Concrete \u2013 the magic ingredient <\/strong>Underneath the brick and marble skins, it the Roman concrete \u2013 hard durable and chap. Roman Concrete and its specific construction technique made a lot of the Roman building styles possible and its use is what allowed many buildings to survive at least in part to this day.<\/p>\n 7 June \u2013 Building Rome IV – Putting it all together <\/p>\n The lectures can be attended individually or as a complete course.<\/strong><\/p>\n Day<\/strong>: Thursdays\u00a0Time<\/strong>: 2pm\u2013 4pm<\/p>\n 4 weeks, starting\u00a010 May- 7 June 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Venue<\/strong>:
\n<\/strong>The majority of buildings of the 1st<\/sup> century AD and later was built of bricks, and the large clay deposits of the Tiber valley offered the raw materials for a brick making industry that supplied the materials. Thanks to the Roman brickstamps we can reconstruct the organization of this industry.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Covering the public brick structures that made up Rome was potentially a large range of coloured \u2018marbles\u2019 imported from all over the empire. A monopoly of the emperor the use of marble quickly became a status symbol and the control marks allow us to reconstruct the organization of its import to and distribution in Rome.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>What do we know of the actual building contractors and architects in Rome, how was their work organized, where were their workshops, how did they recruit their manpower.<\/p>\n
