The great variety of geometries of the inner surface of Roman domes is still an important issue to be explored. The aim of this research is to study the geometry of the vault of the church of S. Bernardo alle Terme in Rome and the relation with its constructive techniques. The church was built using an ancient Roman structure that was part of the Baths of Diocletian and preserves its entire dome. The analysis focuses particularly on the design and distribution of coffers, which seem to respect the original ancient design. The octagonal and squared shapes adapt to the spherical surface, reducing their size progressively as they approach the top of the vault. The studies are based on a new survey of the vault that we realized with digital automated photogrammetry. Based on these reliable data, we try to extract the geometrical rules of the design of the coffers studying their general arrangement and their specific shape.

罗马 S. Bernardo alle Terme 的金库和金库

罗马穹顶内表面的各种几何形状仍然是一个有待探索的重要问题。这项研究的目的是研究罗马 S. Bernardo alle Terme 教堂拱顶的几何形状及其与建筑技术的关系。教堂是使用古罗马建筑建造的，该建筑是戴克里先浴场的一部分，并保留了整个圆顶。分析特别关注金库的设计和分布，这似乎尊重原始古代设计。八角形和方形形状适应球面，随着它们接近拱顶的顶部，它们的尺寸逐渐减小。这些研究基于我们通过数字自动摄影测量实现的对金库的新调查。根据这些可靠的数据，
