Overview

""Étude sur l'administration et l'exploitation des carrières marbres, porphyre, granit, etc. dans le monde romain"" by Charles Dubois offers a detailed examination of the administration and exploitation of marble, porphyry, and granite quarries in the Roman world. This historical study, originally published in 1907, provides insights into the economic and logistical aspects of quarrying, shedding light on the Roman Empire's use of these valuable resources for construction and ornamentation. Dubois delves into the administrative structures overseeing quarry operations, exploring how these quarries were managed and their output distributed throughout the vast Roman territories. The book is a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in the material culture and economic practices of ancient Rome. Its detailed analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of Roman engineering, architecture, and the broader socio-economic context of the empire.
