The Art of Roman City Planning

The Roman city was typically structured around two main axes, the cardo Maximus and the deom Manos Maximus, with the Forum at its heart. Public buildings like the corer, basilicas, and temples were located within the city. This city planning model was inherited from the Greek hippodamia model and can be seen in various cities like Mettus and Timgad. However, some cities, like Pompei and Palmira, had irregular layouts. Despite variations, the Roman city planning model remained evident in many cities. Verification of this model was done through satellite images of cities.
