The Atlas of Ancient Rome: Biography and Portraits of the City - Two-volume slipcased set

This is an absolutely fantastic book that covers Ancient Rome in amazing detail. It is truly an atlas. You will learn so, so much. But be forewarned, this book is not for the faint of heart. This is not some easy read that you can leisurely peruse. This book demands your attention, patients, and determination in order to get the most out of it. However, if you are willing to put in the effort, you will be rewarded with an insight into ancient Rome that would otherwise require you to scour many different sources. It's all here but you will need to work a bit to tease it out.

I have been looking for this work for a couple of years after getting knowledge of it on a youtube video; I was afraid at first because of the price, even though I had downloaded the samples on the internet. As a history passionate reader I had already some knowledge of Ancient Roman history, but this works offers perspectives and thought on the development of the city of Ancient Rome, their main monuments and landmarks which give the ultimate portrait of the greatest capital of the antiquity. Surely a piece that any history passionate, especially of antiquity, cannot miss. I believe it should belong to any library.Ho cercato quest'opera per un paio d'anni dopo averne appresa l'esistenza su un video di YouTube; All'inizio ero frenato a causa del prezzo, anche se avevo scaricato dei samples gratuiti da internet. Come lettore appassionato di storia avevo già una certa conoscenza della storia di Roma antica, ma questo lavoro offre prospettive e riflessioni sullo sviluppo della città , i suoi principali monumenti e punti di riferimento che danno il ritratto definitivo della più grande capitale dell'antichità. Sicuramente un pezzo che ogni appassionato di storia, soprattutto dell'antichità, non può lasciarsi scappare. Credo che dovrebbe essere presente in qualsiasi biblioteca.
