History

Which consequence resulted after Romans expanded use of opus sectile?

A)Increased load bearing wall strength
B)Reduced material standardization possible
C)Decreased susceptibility to thermal expansion
D)Improved interlocking paving stone stability

💡 Explanation

Increased opus sectile spread due to variations of stone source's dimensions; therefore, reduced material standardization occurred, because geometrical constraints from the Tesselation mechanism become critical and interlocking becomes much less of a concern, rather than strength.
