City a story of Roman planning and construction Trade cloth - 1974

by David Macaulay

Text and black and white illustrations show how the Romans planned and constructed their cities for the people who lived within them.


Summary

Text and black and white illustrations show how the Romans planned and constructed their cities for the people who lived within them.

From the publisher

Superb design, magnificent illustrations, and clearly presented information distinguish all of David Macaulay's books. Whether chronicling the monumental achievements of past civilizations or satirizing modern architecture, he is concerned above all in how constructions are made and what their effects are on people and their lives.

First line

By 200 B.C. soldiers of the Roman Republic had conquered all of Italy except the Alps.
