| Roman tiles are a system of flat tiles laid adjacent to each other, the side joints being covered with a tapered half-cylinder. These tiles were very widely used in Roman times and identical tiles can be seen throughout Mediterranean countries today. The tiles are a “single-lap” system, i.e. the tails of each row overlap the heads of the row below and there are grooves on the underside to prevent rain driving upwards. |
