Abstrakt:	Although scaffolds are a basic element of the construction process, our knowledge about ancient scaffolding systems is limited, mainly due to the fact that they are of a temporary nature. However, thanks to the case study of the putlog holes in the Basilica of Maxentius in Rome, we have gained a new understanding of this specific structure. A methodological innovation is that the findings fully take into consideration the three-dimensionality of the wooden structure. The results enable the authors to suggest a schematic reconstruction of the scaffolding used in a specific inner corner of the Basilica, including its main elements (putlogs, ledgers, and standards).
