Ancient Rome in Fifty Monuments

Ancient Rome in Fifty Monuments from Thames and Hudson Ltd offers a sweeping history of Rome through the lens of its emperors and their monumental legacies. Paul Roberts explores how the physical structures of ancient Rome, like the Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla, shaped public consciousness and reflected the personalities behind their creation. Enhanced by reconstructions that illustrate the ancient experience, this book masterfully combines archaeological insights with the human motivations behind Rome's evolution, capturing the city's perpetual cycle of rise, fall, and rebirth.
