I'm looking for an introduction book on roman and greek engineering. Ideally, something that covers a wide topic and a large period of time. If there is nothing that general, then maybe these specifications might help clarify what I'm looking for.
era: roman late republic/early empire or greek 500 to 300 BCE
topic: military engineering (ships, siege equipment and so on), water distribution systems, architecture
Thank you for your suggestions : )
Edit: spelling
Do you know what you are getting in to? This subject has more tentacles than a Hydra and run away / expand and get very specialist very quickly (also expensive - I recommend you cozy up to your local library, as well as Wikipedia and on line). There are so many (just type in your search criteria on Amazon). Giving below 2 generalist-starter books (both should be readily available) =
A History of Engineering in Classical and Medieval Times by Donald Hill.
Ancient and Medieval Siege Weapons by Konstantin. S. Nossov.
