LATERA'RIA. A brick-field. (Plin. H. N. vii. 57.) The example (Lateraria/1.1) from a painting at Thebes in Egypt, represents and Egyptian brick-field, but shows exactly the same process as still pursued; the men at the bottom are digging up the brick earth, and loading it in baskets, while the one at the top lays the bricks already made in wooden moulds.
