This print showcases the various methods employed by ancient builders to move stone blocks, as depicted in Di Lucio Vitruvio Pollione de architectura a libri dece. Created by Gotardo de Ponte Como in 1521 and engraved by Cesare di Lorenzo Cesariano, this engraving offers a glimpse into the techniques used during Roman architecture construction. The image captures the essence of hard work and dedication as workers can be seen employing different methods to transport these colossal stone blocks. From pulleys and ropes to sledges and ramps, each technique is meticulously illustrated, highlighting the ingenuity of these ancient architects. The significance of this print lies not only in its historical value but also in its portrayal of human labor.
