Apollodorus of Damascus was a Nabatean architect and engineer from Damascus, Roman Syria, who flourished during the 2nd century AD.[1][2][3] As an engineer he authored several technical treatises, and his massive architectural output gained him immense popularity during his time[4]. He is one of the few architects whose name survives from antiquity, and is credited with introducing several Eastern innovations to the Roman Imperial style, such as making the dome a standard.
Apollodorus was born in Damascus, Syria, at a time when it was either ruled by Nabataeans, or when they had substantial presence in it, circa 50 AD. Apollodorus is said to be of Nabataean ethnic extraction himself[5], and Damascus was part of the Roman Empire during his adulthood. Little is known of his early life, but he started his career as a military engineer[6] before meeting emperor Trajan and accompanying him during the Second Dacian War in 105 AD[7].
