Tivoli: Hadrian's Villa, interior dome at Small Bath (Bell 1910; Gertrude Bell Archive 082 NcU)


This photograph from Hadrians Villa taken by Gertrude Bell in March, 1910, shows an interior dome in the small Terme (baths). Diagonal courses of brick in Opus reticulatum make up much of the wall mass, with horizontal and vertical courses used in arcades and lintels.

The Gertrude Bell Archive is at Newcastle University in England.
