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.
