The Roman Towns and the geometry - Examples of Varatio
Résumé
This work is proposing some examples of a possible use of the geometry based on rectangular triangles, the varato, in the planning of Roman towns. It is known that the planning of them is based on the centuriaton, a grid of parallel and perpendicular streets, where the two main axes are the Decumanus and the Cardo. The rato of the cathet of the rectangular triangles gives the angle the Decumanus is forming with the east-west directon.
