A Walk in Ancient Rome Buy A Copy of the First Edition while inventory lasts (quality paperback). A Walk in Ancient Rome: A vivid journey back in time to the streets and palaces, the forums and temples of Imperial Rome during the age of the Antonines (150 A.D.)...[continued below] 
[continued] This acclaimed tour guide, which treats the topography, history, culture, religion, food, and other aspects of ancient Roman culture, is the first of its kind. Never before done, it is a lay person's complete tour to the entire city. We visit all 14 regiones (districts) including many places the average reader has never heard of. Puts Ancient Rome in perspective like never before. Puts the usual tour spots (the Forum, the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus) into a coherent story, and removes them from floating unexplained and disconnected in the air as with most guide books... Second Edition due out from Clocktower Books in May 2008. |
Reviews & Endorsements: "This is the guidebook Baedeker would have written if he had been alive two thousand years ago. Anyone who reads it will feel that ancient Rome - with its slaves and Senators, its temples and palaces, its slums and brothels, its sounds and smells - is only an air flight away."—Anthony Everitt, acclaimed author of the best-selling Cicero: A Biography "A delight to read. Cullen is especially effective in bringing the streets of Rome to life, adding people, sounds, and smells to the empty marble and concrete buildings."—Dr. Fred S. Kleiner, Professor of Art History and Archaeology, Boston University "A nice introduction to Ancient Rome for a general audience...overall quite accurate and certainly better than the majority of historical documentaries about Rome that one sees frequently on TV today."—Dr. Gregory S. Aldrete, Professor of History and Humanistic Studies University of Wisconsin-Green Bay |
