| Research Abstract |
Pompeian streets with stone pavements have been carefully planned to avoid over flow and standing water. And the outer perimeter wall, of which the stone blocks can be classified into five groups in their heights, has revealed interesting similarities in stone blocks of some Pompeian houses. In Ostia, a distribution map of stone block walls can be described in my investigation. In Egypt, the process of stone production in late antiquity has been reconstructed and a monolithic column provides a important evidence of stone processing in the Ptolemaic period.
