Anderson, jr., describes the training, career path, and social status of both architects and builders. He explains how the construction industry was organized--from marble and timber suppliers to bricklayers and carpenters. He examines the political, legal, and economic factors that determined what would be built, and where. And he shows how the various types of public and private Roman buildings relate to the urban space as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on ancient literary sources as well as on contemporary scholarship, \u003ci\u003eRoman Architecture and Society\u003c\/i\u003e examines the origins of the architectural achievements, construction techniques, and discoveries that have had an incalculable influence on the postclassical Western world.
