John Stamper is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame. Both an architect and architectural historian, he is the author of Chicago's North Michigan Avenue: Planning and Development, 1900-1930.
"Stamper aims at providing architects, planners, historians, and
students with a more comprehensive discussion of the ancient
temples of Rome than exists to date by interpreting the work of
archaeologists through the eyes of an architectural historian
(xiv). Stamper is successful in his aim and this is the real
contribution of his book." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"...as the first study of its kind, Stamper's account of ancient
Rome's temples is an important and highly original chapter in the
history of Roman architecture. All those interested in the field
owe him a considerable vote of thanks." CAA Review James E.
Packer
"The drawings and plans, most of them executed by the author, are
elegant and invaluable and will, I am certain, be reproduced for
generations...it is a well-designed and well-executed volume, parts
of which students at every level as well as interested scholars may
be referred to with confidence." - James C. Anderson Jr.,
University of Georgia
"this study should be applauded for drawing our attention back to
the Capitoline temple's significance for ancient architectural
history, as well as providing an admirable presentation of temples
in Rome from Tarquinius Priscus through the Antonines." - John
