•    Wood is a common and essential material of construction. The use of wood by the Romans was expanded over that of the Greeks by wider application of use of the truss. It can be speculated that these risers and treads would have been made of wood as they have deteriorated from their place of attachment. Vitruvius provided instruction on the use of the various timbers. Fir is described as a light wood, resists bending, so therefore would be desirable for use as joists . Oak, having a tight structure, was desirable for use where the wood must be buried in the ground, or possibly used as piers.
