A Roman construction technique using brick- and tile-faced concrete, which was by far the most common material for walling during the empire. Triangular tiles were used with their points turned into the concrete and their long sides showing, thus giving the appearance of a wall built of thin bricks. Bonding courses of bipedales were employed at intervals of 2-3 feet.
