Such a partnership is an invitation to move beyond the study of individual elements of structures or sites, for example mouldings or terracottas, and instead use such studies to reconstruct a larger picture of architecture in this region as a discipline and to position it more broadly in space and time"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 25, 2022) Subject Architecture, Ancient -- Italy, Central -- Congresses Architecture, Etruscan -- Congresses Architecture, Roman -- Italy, Central -- Congresses ART / History / Ancient & Classical.
