Description
Four photographs.
Though some of the examples show both ancient and modern brickwork, the Romans were well-known to use brick to build the core parts of buildings and then to add marble decorations as the final touch. Here modern and ancient brick meets marble, as the brick is used in the core parts of the building to which the portico was once attached.
