DIAMIC'TON. A term employed by the Roman builders to designate a particular manner of constructing walls, similar in most respects to the Emplecton, but of an inferior description; for though the outside surfaces were formed of regular masonry or brickwork, and the centre filled in with rubble, they had no girders (diatoni) to consolidate the mass, and bind it together. (Plin. H. N. xxxvi. 51.) The illustration (Diamicton/1.1) shows a wall constructed in diamicton, from a ruin at Rome.
