Roman Architecture by Nigel Rodgers gives insight about Building the City of Rome, Building Techniques and Styles, Public Buildings, Imperial Palaces, Housing, and Cities of the Empire. The book provides valuable information regarding Roman architecture back lacks some in-depth explanation. This book gives a glimpse of the glorious Roman architecture rather than provide an exhaustive knowledge of Roman architecture and engineering principles.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have been better
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2014

Something of a disappointment. Most of the pictures are very small, and the text is not free from mistakes (such as saying that the great hall in Union Station, in Washington D.C. has been demolished). Books that use the word "Glorious" in the title should have better photos and better text than this.

The book is an excellent guide to roman monuments in all their aspects - history, architecture, evolution. Brilliant illustration, concise texts which give everything one needs to know regarding a specific structure. Thank you for the pleasure of having this treasure at home!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2014

As a book on the buildings of Ancient Rome it is good. As a book on the architecture, not so much. There is not enough explanation of architecture here; like how did the Romans mix concrete for their sewers that was and still is, waterproof? How did they figure out the ideal type of archeways to makes their bridges strong?

There is no actual detail on the realities of architecture so the title is somewhat off. However as a book on Roman buildings it is very good. The book itself is a comfortable size but the print is a little small and whilst there are lots of colour pics throughout a lot of them are very small which is a shame when displaying the beauty of Rome.

For the price on here though (£5.75) I really can't fault it. An absolute bargain. Can't see how the cost of printing would leave any profit!
