They consisted of four courses Of
stone. The statumen. or foundation,
was composed Of large fat stones
imbedded in mortar. On this foun-
dation was placed a layer of rock
laid in lime or cement mortar,
known as rudus. The nucleus con-
sisted of small stones, gravel or
pieces of brick, laid in mortar. On
top of this was placed the summa
crusta, or wearing surface, of large,
fiat, closely-imbedded rocks. making
the total depth of the road about
three feet.
