Symbols Of Wealth And Power
Although initially intended for the innovative (if prosaic) purpose of providing waterproof and fireproof cover for formerly thatch-roofed homes, fired clay tiles became, in 7th century Etruria and Central Italy, a critical element in domestic decoration. This book provides a catalogue of the evidence of these roofing tiles.
