CHAPTER XIX
_TERRACOTTA IN ROMAN ARCHITECTURE AND SCULPTURE_
Clay in Roman architecture—Use of bricks—Methods of
construction—Tiles—Ornamental antefixae—Flue-tiles—Other
uses—Inscriptions on bricks and tiles—Military tiles—Mural
reliefs—List of subjects—Roman sculpture in
terracotta—Statuettes—Uses at Rome—Types and subjects—Gaulish
terracottas—Potters and centres of fabric—Subjects—Miscellaneous
uses of terracotta—Money-boxes—Coin-moulds.
The uses of clay among the Romans were, as may be supposed, much the
same as among the Greeks and Etruscans, in architecture, in sculpture,
and for household implements. The main differences are that in some
cases—as in architecture—its use was more extensive at Rome, in others
less; and that generally the products of this material in Roman
workshops are inferior to those of the Greeks. But the technical
processes are in the main identical with those employed by the Greeks,
and consequently much that has been said in Chap. III. of this work
need not be here repeated.
