Porphyry setts
Porphyry setts are the most common porphyry shape used for external paving and they lend themselves easily to the creation of shapes like arches, circles and straight lines.
They are often irregular in size and shape, leading to an improved laying quality because the porphyry setts can be positioned to reduce the space between them.
An interesting note:
porphyry setts change name depending on the area: in the North they are often referred to as Bolognini, while in Rome they are known as Sampietrini.
