Lateraria
A brick-field (Pliny ,
Pliny H. N. vii.
57). A painting at Thebes in Egypt represents an Egyptian brick-field, and shows
exactly the same process as still pursued; the men at the bottom are digging up the brick
earth, and loading it in baskets, while the one at the top lays the bricks already made in
wooden moulds. See
Fictilé.
