Opus mixtum
Combination of Roman construction techniques
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opus mixtum (Latin: "mixed work"), or opus vagecum and opus compositum, was an ancient Roman construction technique. It can consist in a mix of opus reticulatum and at the angles and the sides of opus latericium. It can also consist of opus vittatum and opus testaceum. This masonry was used in the edges, so as to strengthen the side wall and contrasting the possible cracks along the oblique lines. Often used during the Flavians (from 70CE), under Trajan (98–117) and Hadrian (117–138).[1][2]
