In this collection, you will find a series of PBR materials made from 3D photogrammetric models of Roman surfaces such as walls, pavements, etc., that will allow you to learn about the construction techniques of the Roman world and give your own reconstructions realistic textures.
Roman construction techniques stood out for their advanced engineering and architectural skills. Among the main techniques used were the construction with opus caementicium, or Roman concrete, a mixture of mortar and crushed stone that allowed the creation of solid and durable structures. They also employed opus testaceum, construction with clay bricks, and opus reticulatum, a pattern of stone blocks arranged in a diamond shape. Arches and vaults were fundamental, especially the semi-circular arch and the barrel vault. Furthermore, Roman aqueducts are a remarkable testament to their ability to design and build impressive hydraulic engineering works that brought water to cities and were essential for their prosperity. These innovative Roman construction techniques significantly contributed to the architectural legacy and expansion of the Roman Empire.
