I'm going to be building a little outbuilding for a workshop and storage. Primarily carpentry. And I think it'd be interesting to build it in a decently authentic roman style construction. Any suggestions on resources for information

Well, the basic work on Roman Architecture, be it in any material, is in my opinion
Jean-Pierre Adam - Roman Building: Materials and Techniques
You can find all info on materials and building techniques (styles, joints, etc) in there.

The Ancient Technology Centre here in Dorset/Wiltshire have built a workshop albeit a forge

They're a great bunch of guys and I am sure if you contact them they'll be able to give you some sources and ideas. PM me if you want to pursue it!

I figured as much on the basic materials, and thanks for both sources, both look like they'll be great help
