El trazado vitruviano como mecanismo abierto de implantación y ampliación de los teatros romanos

Abstract

On the basis of the monographic work about the roman theatre of Sagunto (Spain), the author identifies, from the direct analysis of the ruins, the different construction phases that compose the succesive developments of the original roman implementation. Relating each of the phases with the type defined by Vitruvio, we find the method that the roman constructors used to enlarge the initial theatre of Sagunto which had been designed on the orthodox basis of the vitruvian model.
