内容説明
Excavations at Pompeii have been going on for more than two centuries, since 1748, and discoveries there have regularly produced new and important information about ancient Roman life. The site holds a rich concentration of municipal buildings, houses of every size and condition, villas, and tombs. Now in paperback, the first book of this century written in English devoted to Pompeian architecture and urban development tells the story of the city and its buildings. With texts and illustrations, L. Richardson, jr. portrays Pompeii in context, as a keystone in the architectural history of antiquity. Pompeii's life was comparatively short. From its meteoric rise as a seaport and shipbuilding centre during the First Punic War until its abrupt destruction with the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, the city passed through four major building periods. After a general introduction to Pompeii's history and geography, the book proceeds through each period, discussing its public buildings, private buildings and tombs. Each building is described and placed according to its importance in the development of its particular architectural form.
