Summary

Description
English: Section of a Roman street of Pompeii

1 Native earth, levelled and, if necessary, rammed tight
2 Statumen: stones of a size to fill the hand
3 Audits: rubble or concrete of broken stones and lime
4 Nucleus: kernel or bedding of fine cement made of pounded potshards and lime
5 Dorsum or agger viae: the elliptical surface or crown of the road (media stratae eminentia) made of polygonal blocks of silex (basaltic lava) or rectangular blocks of saxum qitadratum (travertine, peperino, or other stone of the country). The upper surface was designed to cast off rain or water like the shell of a tortoise. The lower surfaces of the separate stones, here shown as flat, were sometimes cut to a point or edge in order to grasp the nucleus, or next layer, more firmly
6 Crepido, margo or semita: raised footway, or sidewalk, on each side of the via

7 Umbones or edge-stones
Français : Section d'une voie romaine de Pompéi

1 Sol nu nivelé, et éventuellement tassé
2 Statumen : amas de cailloux
3 Moellons aggregés par du ciment romain
4 Nucleus : débris de poterie aggrégés par du ciment fin
5 Dorsum : blocs polygonaux de silex, ou blocs rectangulaires de tuf volcanique ou d'autres pierres des environs, formant la surface de la route. La forme elliptique permettait d'éviter l'amas de pluie au milieu de la route. Le dessous des blocs étaient parfois volontairement entaillés d'aspérités leur permettant une meilleure tenue sur le nucleus
6 Crepido : trottoir ou chaussée élevée pour les piétons

7 Bordure
Deutsch: Querschnitt einer Römerstraße in Pompeii

1 Gewachsener Boden, ausgeebnet und fest gestampft
2 Statumen: Faustgroße Steine
3 Bruchsteine, Zement und Lehm
4 Nucleus: nussgroße Kiesel, Zementstücke, Steinsplitter und Lehm
5 Dorsum oder agger viae: die gewölbte Oberfläche (media stratae eminentia) aus behauenen Steinen, Silex oder Basalt, Steinquader je nach Gegend. Die Form der Oberfläche sorgte dafür, dass das Regenwasser ablief und die unteren Schichten trocken blieben
6 Crepido, margo oder semita: erhöhter Fußweg beidseits der Straße
