When did this mysterious revolution happen?

No clue in the article concerning the time it happened. Khayyam 77 (talk) 14:34, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the language used is too subjective

I didn't delete "which led to the liberation of the shape from the dictate of the traditional materials of stone and brick" even though it is very interpretive because I though it might be language directly from a source, but it shouldn't be there outside of quotation marks.

I wonder about the last paragraph: "The development of Roman architecture, however, did not remain limited to these new forms and materials. Parallel, an unrelated process of architectural innovation continued unabated which, although less conspicuous, proved their usefulness for solving structural problems and found their way permanently into Western architecture, such as the lintel arch, the independent corbel and the metal-tie.[4]" The lintel and metal tie long predate the Roman empire, as does corbeling. And the independent corbel is more closely associated with Byzantine and medieval architecture. AmateurEditor (talk) 18:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article omits one of the biggest parts of the architectural inheritance of Romans, the semicircular arch, in it entirety (Romans did not invent it, but the did make it really popular). I will check the source. Викидим (talk) 19:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
