Marcus Cetius Faventinus

Marcus Cetius Faventinus was a Roman author on architecture active in the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.

[1] He wrote a handbook based mainly on earlier authors, especially Vitruvius.

[1][2] Its original title was Artis architectonicae privatis usibus adbreviatus liber ('abridged book of the art of architecture for private uses'), but is now more commonly known as De diversis fabricis architectonicae.

[3] It was used by the agricultural writer Palladius and by the encyclopaedist Isidore of Seville.

[1] There is a modern English translation with a facing Latin edition.
