Apollodorus of Damascus
2nd century Syrian Roman architect and engineer
Apollodorus of Damascus (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλόδωρος ὁ Δαμασκηνός)[1] was an architect and engineer from Roman Syria, who flourished during the 2nd century AD.[2][3][4] As an engineer he authored several technical treatises, and his massive architectural output gained him immense popularity during his time.[5] He is one of the few architects whose name survives from antiquity, and is credited with introducing several Eastern innovations to the Roman Imperial style, such as making the dome a standard.
He is also known as Apollodorus Mechanicus.
Early life
Apollodorus was born in Damascus, Roman Syria. Modern sources refer to him as Nabatean,[3][6][7] or as Greek.[8][9][10] Neither Cassius Dio nor Procopius, scholars and historians of antiquity, mention his origins when writing of him.[11&
