...need to apologize. On a much more serious level. Toynbee admits to errors that are basic to his entire scheme. He admits that using Hellenic civilization as the model by which to judge the decline and fall of others is a mistake.

ROME, my Mistress. Vitruvius, my Master, Architecture, my Life." Such was the trinity acknowledged by Andrea Palladio (1518-80), a stonemason's son from Vicenza, Italy, who grew up to rule over a whole generation of fellow architects and to recast the classic style of Rome and Greece with such elegance and authority that his Palladian style became one of the longest-lasting and most widely accepted personal idioms in the history of architecture.
