{"title":"Frank Sear","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"roman-architecture-book-frank-sear-9780801492457","title":"Roman Architecture","description":"Frank Sear traces the evolution of architecture during the four centuries from the late Republic, when Roman building came of age, to A.D. 330, when Constantine moved the empire's capital to Constantinople. More than 200 photographs, maps, and drawings illustrate a discussion ranging over the extent of the empire, from Italy and North Africa and to the European and eastern provinces.   Sear elucidates the complex development of Roman architecture by studying in detail the one site he feels to be the most significant and representative of a given period or province and by placing each site in its historical and cultural context. Incorporating the latest archaeological findings, Sear treats much more than stylist innovations; he carefully considers the building methods and materials used by Roman architects and engineers, and he pays close attention to the conditions under which the buildings were erected. This updated edition of Roman Architecture includes a full bibliography.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49514975461649,"sku":"CIN0801492459G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50227823313169,"sku":"GOR013893659","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50252007899409,"sku":"GOR004265570","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51475499188497,"sku":"CIN0801492459VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801492459.jpg?v=1754893900"},{"product_id":"roman-architecture-book-frank-sear-9780713440980","title":"Roman Architecture","description":"This study of the development of architecture in the Roman Empire during the 300 years from the age of Augustus to the move of the capital to Constantinople in AD 330 is particularly concerned with the architects and their patrons and with the building techniques and the materials.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49558810296593,"sku":"GOR001775060","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629487399185,"sku":"GOR001471698","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0713440988.jpg?v=1750848041"},{"product_id":"roman-architecture-book-frank-sear-9780415200936","title":"Roman Architecture","description":"In this comprehensive, accessible and beautifully illustrated book, Frank Sear traces the evolution of Roman architecture during the four centuries from the late Republic to AD 330, when Constantine moved the empire's capital to Constantinople.
