Roman Surveying
Roman Surveying was a systematic method used by the ancient Romans to measure and map land. It involved tools like the groma, a cross-shaped instrument for right angles, and the chorobates, a leveling device. These tools helped surveyors create accurate layouts for roads, buildings, and agricultural fields.
The Romans applied their surveying techniques to urban planning and military campaigns, ensuring efficient land use and construction. Their methods laid the groundwork for modern surveying practices, demonstrating the importance of precise measurements in engineering and architecture.
