�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique exploration of the disappearance of Ancient Rome's monumental architecture, moving beyond the simplistic narrative of barbarian destruction. The author reveals a more complex story, tracing the cityâ� �s gradual transformation from its earliest days through the periods of empire, Byzantium, and the Middle Ages. The book delves into how Roman emperors, often in the name of progress, repurposed and destroyed earlier structures, paving the way for their own ambitious building projects. The author meticulously documents how the city was reconstructed after devastating fires, with the valuable materials of previous buildings often reused for new ones. The book reveals the striking extent to which the later Roman Empire, especially under Constantine, relied upon the dismantling of earlier monuments for its own architectural endeavors, turning statues and marble into common building materials. This insightful work sheds light on the intricate and often overlooked processes that contributed to the gradual disappearance of Ancient Romeâ� �s majestic buildings, offering a nuanced understanding of the city's architectural history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330398999_0
