An example of the construct at Fishbourne Roman Palace museum
(archaeology) A roof tile common in Ancient Greek and Roman architecture, used in an overlapping formation with the tegula.
The bottom of each tegula (a) overlaps the top of the tile below it. At the same time, the upper tegula's raised side borders taper inward to nestle between the side borders of the tegula below. Each curved imbrex (b) covers the joints formed between the side ridges of adjacent tegulae. Some imbrices are not shown in order to reveal the details of the tegular joints.
(archaeology) A roof tile common in Ancient Greek and Roman architecture, used in an overlapping formation with the tegula.
Imbrices and tegulae are still in use in Rome in 2005.
