VG. light rubbing & creasing to corners. back cover scuffed. lower textblock shelf-worn & lightly stained; does not appear to affect pgs. blue & red wraps w/ illustration & white printing. book xiv 377 pgs w/ 10 plates of illustrations. Text in German. The thermal baths as a building type spread very early in the provinces of the Roman Empire and were available not only to the Roman population but also to the local population. Magnificent thermal baths here had the task of promoting the power of the Roman Empire and the associated urban standard of living. When building a thermal bath architecture technology and decor should make meaningful reference to each other in the planning and execution of the building and should be coordinated accordingly. In addition to simple standardization however many thermal baths show obvious deviations in terms of architecture and technology as well as decorative equipment; the latter occupies the most important place in this work. The intention of the client - whether a private individual a community or the ruler himself - was to design the 'raw type of bathroom in such a way that later a uniform and harmonious whole was obtained. Mosaics could be used very differently in thermal baths. They were laid on the floor adorned bathing pools and piscines and found their place - albeit less often - on walls and ceilings or vaults. They primarily fulfill a practical function namely by covering the surface with a waterproof and decorative layer of jewelry. In addition they should also please the eye of the beholder with their decorative image. One encounters both monochrome and bichrome mosaics as well as polychrome tesselates or mosaics with beautiful ornamentation or figurative decor.--translated from Amazon.
