330 .. $a "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 historical context. The most common building type in which the techniques
appear is the bath, demonstrating its importance as a catalyst for technological innovation.
This book also explores trade networks, the pottery industry, and military movements
in relation to building construction, revealing how architectural innovation was influenced
by wide ranging cultural factors, many of which stemmed from local influences rather
than imperial intervention"
