Another amazing volume in the Monuments of Civilization series from Italy, this one covers Rome and its empire from early Etruscan times to the fall of the Western empire to the Goths and their allies in the early 5th century. Apart from the scholarly and informative text, all praise is due to the amazing large-format photographs, in the familiar earth hues that are a common character of these volumes (no doubt reflecting the fact that most of the monuments are made of earthen bricks and show more rocks). The photographs are so encompassing (probably because they were taken on large format film) that it is almost like being there in person; indeed, it is doubtful that an actual itinerary would be capable of covering so much ground in such detail. This is a good accompaniment to a history of the period. show less

Ottima guida per archeologi!

Purtroppo non ce l'ho fatta a leggermela tutta..anche perché si trattava di un dovere universitario! Ma non lo diciamo a nessuno! :)
Le parti che ho analizzato sono scritte molto bene e, per chi studia in un contesto archeologico, penso che questa sia la migliore guida con la quale attraversare la città di Roma!
