A wall of the Domus Augustana in Rome
Opus latericium (Latin for "brick work") is an ancient Roman form of construction in which coarse-laid brickwork is used to face a core of opus caementicium.[1][2]
Opus latericium was the dominant form of wall construction in the imperial era.[1] In the time of the architectural writer Vitruvius, opus latericium seems to have designated structures built using unfired mud bricks.[3]
