Opus latericium ( Latin for "brick work") is an ancient Roman construction technique in which course-laid brickwork is used to face a core of opus caementicium. [1] [2]
Opus reticulatum 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]
