R. Lethaby is a historical account that explores Roman architecture and construction methods as found in ancient London, crafted during the early 20th century. The text delves into various building materials, structures, and artistic practices utilized in Roman-era Londinium, aiming to highlight the city's historical architectural significance and its evolution over time.  The opening of the book presents an introduction to Roman building techniques in Britain, noting the surprising neglect of the subject by architects and historians alike. Lethaby asserts that a detailed exploration of these practices is essential for understanding the evolution of British architecture. He begins by discussing the numerous tools and materials used by Roman builders, providing insights into construction methods such as masonry and walling. The chapter sets a foundation for understanding how these ancient practices not only shaped the physical landscape of London but also influenced modern building techniques, underscoring the relevance of studying Roman architectural methods today.
