Vitruvius

I just finished reading Vitruvius' 10 books on arcatecture. I've been working on that pretty much all summer. Vitruvius' work has influenced many over time, the most notable of these is probably the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. It was very interesting to read Vitruvius, I'll admit a fair amount was over my head but some things were simply fascinating. I gained a whole new perspective on what life was like back in Roman times. I think this is something everyone should try and read once.
