Quo vadis? Technologischer Vergleich römischer Funktionsböden gegenüber neuzeitlichen Konstruktionsmaßstäben

Abstract

The present essay is intended to provide an overview of the technical standard for the design, construction and technology of roman floors. For a better historical classification, first, an overview of the roman polity in imperial times and generally on the structural framework should be given. On this basis different contemporary examples of Roman soils are presented, which are then examined in detail in terms of function and purpose.
