‘Roman architecture was almost as complex as the Roman empire itself; it was influenced by a multitude of geographic, political, economic, social and cultural factors.* The cohesive factor through all the differences was the Roman character, which possessed the talent and felt the necessity to organise** in large and complex terms, politically, architecturally or otherwise.’

‘...the beginnings of a more creative phase**** of Roman architecture, in the period of the empire.’
