There were no fragments remaining of these wooden members (rafters, ridge-beams and purlins), so Dr Hodge demonstrates the original position and function of the timbers from the way the stonework was cut to fit round them, and to a lesser extent from ancient documents. Dr Hodge is able to define a widely used type of roof (the Gaggera roof) and ceiling (the slot ceiling) not hitherto noticed, and makes a suggestion about the possible origin of the triangular tie-beam truss, as well as collating existing knowledge of the time. There are about 50 photographs and a number of detailed architectural drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942460588320,"sku":"NEW0521141125","price":33.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-woodwork-of-greek-roofs-cambridge-classical-studies-0521141125","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
