Research On Palladio's Illustrations For Polybius' Histories And Caesar's "Commentaries"

From Alberti to Palladio,Renaissance architects never stop studying military architecture theory.Although these architects have different concerns,they cover three main aspects of military architecture theory: architecture,science related to attack and defense equipment,and war art,such as Roman encampement,engineering,strategic tactics,bridges,military equipment,etc.to some extent,Palladio's work complements the previous work on tactical strategy and the lack of space geography research.One of the driving forces of change is that warfare changes with the popularity of gun powder.This paper discusses the development of military architecture theory in Renaissance and the content and significance of a series of ramo.These ramos will be restored to the humanistic atmosphere in northern Italy,and analyzed from two aspects:the geographic information of print and the types of elements contained in print.A picture of an unknown Italian architect,Palladio,the illustrator and theorist in the militia,provides us with a complete picture of the excellent features of Ancient Wars reconstructed by Palladio.Another set of military deployment drawings in Oxford may indicate that if the scale of a territory is unknown,but the space occupied by the army is known,then the former can be inferred from the latter.Palladio studies according to the tools,rules and methods of architectural design.The interdisciplinary research of military war and architecture intersects here,which also connects him as an architect.In the end,the author combs the discussion on the military architecture theory in De architectura,and finds that there is a coincidence of content and thought between Palladio's military architecture research and Vitruvius' s De architectura.The series of ramos explain the hidden content system in De architectura from the Perspective of military architecture image,and enriches the cognition of Roman architecture culture again.
