Quantifiying monumentality in a time of crisis : building materials, labour force and building costs in late Republican Central Italy / Dominik Maschek

| 11640 | Capítulo en monografía |
The paper tries to go beyond conventional typology of stylistic analysis, looking at the huge Late Republican sanctuary of Central Italy mainly as sources for economic and social history. Such an evaluation cannot be achieved by just looking at ground plans or available building space. Instead, only the reconstruction of both labour force and building costs leads to a valid estimate of a given building's importance in its respective historical context. The first results of this approach are discussed for the three building phases of the monumental extraurban sanctuary at Tusculum, modeling both the seasonal demand for resources and manpower and the hypothetical building costs for each phase. Taken together, all these aspects and analytical steps result in a new and highly complex model of the building industry in Central Italy from the late second to the first century BC.
P. 317-329.
