Ancient Rome:Life and Art by Luisa Franchi dell'Orto is not a guide to the monuments of ancient Rome, but an attempt to understand their significance and their vital role in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the city during successive periods of the urban development. Thus, ancient Latin and Greek authors who lived in Rome or stopped there for a visit and described local events, customs and habits are often called upon to speak directly from the pages of this text. Illustrated with plans and Full colour photos.
