The tools that the Romans used for making bricks were basically a mold, and oven. A large ancient Roman brickworks factory was discovered in the central Italian town of Ronta a few years ago. So far they've discovered two large rectangular ovens for baking bricks and a brazier in another oven room which was constructed of a series of small arches and low walls which allowed larger pieces to be placed directly over the flames. Whitish or red clay mixed with straw was usually used for the bricks themselves. The finished bricks were kept for two years as an aging process and they were much thinner than our present day bricks, looking more like our modern tiles. The Romans used brick extensively in their buildings, many times facing the brick with marble.

Why did the Romans use brick?

The Romans made their bricks by first forming them in molds then backing them in oven rooms. From the remains of the ancient brickworks found at Emilia Romagna, it seems as if they used the entire room as a kiln. The roman bricks were kept for two years to age before being used. They were much thinner than our present day bricks and looked more like modern tiles.The Romans made their bricks by first forming them in molds then backing them in oven rooms.
