What is "isodomic construction"?

[edit]

"The cylindrical part consists of five circular rings (or domes) made of stones of equal thickness featuring isodomic construction". What does "isodomic construction" mean? "Isodomic" does not appear in the OED. DuncanHill (talk) 00:37, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki to the rescue - Opus isodomum. It is actually linked. How nice to know one has an isodomic garden wall. Johnbod (talk) 02:22, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
