The Architecture of Roman Temples

This book examines the development of Roman temple architecture from its earliest history in the sixth century BC to the reigns of Hadrian and the Antonines in the second century AD. John Stamper analyzes their formal qualities, the public spaces in which they were located and, most importantly, the authority of precedent in their designs. He also traces Rome's temple architecture as it evolved over time and how it accommodated changing political and religious contexts, as well as the affects of new stylistic influences.Stamper, John is the author of 'The Architecture of Roman Temples', published 2008 under ISBN 9780521723718 and ISBN 052172371X.
