• Resumen

  • The notion of symmetria and its place in Latin literature concern various forms of artistic expression from a lexical and conceptual point of view. This notion requires us to think about the balance and the right proportion which is the base of the beauty in a building, in rhetoric, and in the human body. The hesitation of Vitruvius in the De architectura to adapt in Rome this notion from Greece reveals the complexity of the challenge faced by the Romans to create a conceptual vocabulary in their own language.
