IMBRICA'TUS. (From imbrico, καλυπτηρίζω). Imbricated, in architecture; that is, having the roof covered with a series of flat and ridge-tiles (tegulae and imbrices); the usual manner in which the Greeks and Romans protected the timber-work in the roofs of their buildings, and of which a specimen is afforded by the annexed engraving (Imbricatus/1.1), representing the roof of the portico of Octavia at Rome, the tiles of which are made of white marble.
