Innovative Vaulting in the Architecture of the Roman Empire
This book studies six vaulting techniques employed in architecture outside of Rome and asks why they were invented where they were and how they were disseminated. Most of the techniques involve terracotta elements in various forms, such as regular flat bricks, hollow voussoirs, vaulting tubes, and armchair voussoirs. Each one is traced geographically via GIS mapping, the results of which are analysed in relation to chronology, geography, and hist…

Provenancing of Lightweight Volcanic Stones Used in Ancient Roman Concrete Vaulting
This paper presents the geochemical analysis of lightweight scoria and pumice used in concrete vaults from ancient Rome. The geochemical signatures of dark scoria indicates a provenance of the 36–18 ka lavas of Vesuvius, as opposed to the more recent events on which Pompeii was built, as previously thought. The light-coloured pumices analysed, which were originally thought to belong to the Sabatini volcanic system (north of Rome), corresponded in…
Concrete Vaulted Construction in Imperial Rome
Provenancing of Lightweight Volcanic Stones Used in Ancient Roman Concrete Vaulting
The mastery of the use of lightweight rocks in concrete as a means of controlling the thrusts of large‐scale vaults was among the most important contributions of the Roman builders to the development of vaulted architecture. The string of volcanoes along the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy produced a variety of lightweight rocks, which allowed the builders in Rome to develop highly sophisticated ways of manipulating form and mass to create stable struc…
Parthian Influence on Vaulting in Roman Greece? An Inquiry into Technological Exchange Under Hadrian
The earliest known Roman examples of "pitched-brick" vaulting appear in hydraulic systems in the first half of the second century C.E. at Athens, Eleusis, and Argos, while others at Dion and Gortyn may also date from the same period. I argue, based on an analysis of the constructional details, that the technique was introduced from Parthia by military construction experts specializing in hydraulics, who had been involved in Trajan's Parthian War …
Concrete Vaulted Construction in Imperial Rome
Concrete Vaulted Construction in Imperial Rome examines methods and techniques that enabled builders to construct some of the most imposing monuments of ancient Rome. Focusing on structurally innovative vaulting and the factors that influenced its advancement, Lynne Lancaster also explores a range of related practices, including lightweight pumice as aggregate, amphoras in vaults, vaulting ribs, metal tie bars, and various techniques of buttressi…

When Generations Collide
Building Trajan's Markets 2
The well-preserved state of many parts of Trajan's Markets provides the opportunity for a detailed study of the building techniques used there, which in turn sheds light on the construction process. Topics included in this paper are the planning of the drainage, design of multi-story buildings with noncongruent plans, and organization and protection of the building site. They are discussed in relation to specific archaeological evidence from vari…
Building Trajan's Column
Trajan's Column is best known for its sculptured spiral frieze celebrating Trajan's victories in the Dacian Wars, but it is also a complex architectural monument representing an impressive feat of engineering. The Column is made up of 29 blocks of Luna marble weighing from 25 to 77 tons, the highest of which had to be raised to 38.4 m above ground. In this paper I discuss the evidence both for the construction of the Column and for the organizati…

Building Trajan's Markets
This paper examines the use of two building techniques at Trajan's Markets: "bonding" courses of bipedales and brick linings used as formwork for vaulting. The distribution of these two techniques provides evidence for the distribution of the workforce and the organization of the building site. The pattern of the bonding courses suggests that they were used as organizational tools by setting certain key heights and in at least one case by providi…
The date of Trajan's Markets
LA DATAZIONE DEI MERCATI DI TRAIANO: UNA VALUTAZIONE ALLA LUCE DI ALCUNI BOLLI LATERIZI INEDITI Le recenti proposte di una datazione Domizianea dei Mercati di Traiano vengono prese in esame alla luce di 68 nuovi bolli laterizi ritrovati ai Mercati, alcuni dei quali recuperati anche in contesti pre-Traianei. La conclusione è che tutti i bolli laterizi pre-Traianei si ritrovano insieme a quelli Traianei e quindi non possono essere utilizzati come e…
