Notes on Building-Construction in Roman Britain
R. E. M. Wheeler
No systematic survey of the methods adopted by military and civil builders in Roman Britain has yet been attempted. Nor does present brief paper profess to fill gap. It is merely a collection notes based mostly upon personal experience varied types Romano-British structure observed during excavation. As such, it may have contributory value when more comprehensive review subject undertaken. The best single building-material from that recovered factory 20th Legion at Holt, near Chester, now exhibited National Museum Wales Cardiff. For rest, building-materials receive less than their due our museums.
