Missing Illustration
Quoted text:
In India the mandala was employed, while Roman city planners used a templum diagram—a cardinal cross enclosed in a circle (Illustration 9.4)
Help us track down an image to insert. Or, is this the cross-in-circle 𛲜 symbol, rather than a separate illustration file?
As per the Illustration list, this was presumably supposed to be:
9.4 Roman templum diagram (from Rykwert,[1] The Idea of a Town, 1976: [page number unknown]).
