Vitruvian Man

Rome Under Construction

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book reconsiders the Roman architect Vitruvius and his treatise, On Architecture. The ideal, "Vitruvian" man is not simply an architect in the narrow sense. He is a builder of Augustus' legacy, and the archetype for a distinctly imperial ethos of civic expertise.
