Gromatici

The gromatici , named for the surveying instrument the groma , were instructors and (usually) practitioners of land survey. They wrote from the Flavian period onward; the earliest surviving manuscript probably dates from the sixth century CE . Some works are illustrated. Epigraphic and archaeological evidence supports these sources and confirms the land surveyor's role as planner and administrator, as well as expert witness.
