The quality of 'monumentality' is attributed to the buildings of
few historical epochs or cultures more frequently or consistently than
to those of the Roman Empire. It is this quality that has helped to make
them enduring models for builders of later periods. This extensively
illustrated book, the first full-length study of the concept of
monumentality in Classical Antiquity, asks what it is that the notion
encompasses and how significant it was for the Romans themselves in
moulding their individual or collective aspirations and identities.
Although no single word existed in antiquity for the qualities that
modern authors regard as making up that term, its Latin derivation -
from monumentum, 'a monument' - attests plainly to the presence of the
concept in the mentalities of ancient Romans, and the development of
that notion through the Roman era laid the foundation for the classical
ideal of monumentality, which reached a height in early modern Europe.
This book is also the first full-length study of architecture in the
Antonine Age - when it is generally agreed the Roman Empire was at its
height. By exploring the public architecture of Roman Italy and both
Western and Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire from the point of view
of the benefactors who funded such buildings, the architects who
designed them, and the public who used and experienced them, Edmund
Thomas analyses the reasons why Roman builders sought to construct
monumental buildings and uncovers the close link between architectural
monumentality and the identity and ideology of the Roman Empire itself.
