'I heartily recommend [Lewis]'s book as a model of integrated analysis relevant to many different aspects of the classical world.' Journal of Roman Studies
This book contains translations of all the ancient texts on surveying, including major sources hitherto untapped. It sets out to reconstruct the instruments and to explain how they were used. A level of technical sophistication emerges, which must count as one of the greatest achievements of the ancient world.

This book, which contains translations of all the ancient texts on surveying instruments, including major sources hitherto untapped, sets out to reconstruct the instruments and to explain how they were used.
