Opus latericium (Latin for "brick work") is an ancient Roman construction technique in which course-laid brickwork is used to face a core of opus caementicium.[1][2]
Opus reticulatum was the dominant form of wall construction in the Imperial era.[1] In the time of the architectural writer Vitruvius, opus latericium seems to have designated structures built using unfired mud bricks.[3]
