Monumentality And The Roman Empire
Presents a study of the concept of monumentality in Classical Antiquity, asks what it is that the notion encompasses and how significant it was for the Romans themselves in moulding their individual or collective aspirations and identities. This work analyses the reasons why Roman builders sought to construct monumental buildings.
