"The author of a classic work on the architecture of imperial Rome here broadens his locus to present an original study of urban architecture in Roman market torons, port cities, veterans' colonies, and major metropolitan centers throughout the empire.
"Simply the best book on Roman urbanism [that] I know. A formidable breakthrough. It brings to life the genius of Roman urbanism and reveals its continuing relevance for present urban planning and architecture."- Leon Krier, Architects Journal
"In this very fine book—the successor w his Introductory Study—William L. MacDonald lays before the reader the physical evidence of what a Roman city was
litre for its inhabitants. . . . The illustrations in An Urban Appraisal, this second volume of The Architecture of the Roman Empire, are superbly chosen, illuminating
the text as well as being interesting in themselves. . . . It is a joy to find a book so attractively designed, worthy of both its author and his subject."—Martin Henig, Times Literary Supplément
