Book Reviews of Ancient Rome: Monuments Past and Present
Book Review: Everything you need to know!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ancient Rome: Monuments Past and Present is a very interesting book. It is very useful in visually learning about the monuments of Rome such as: the Colosseum, the individual buildings in the Forum, the Circus Maximus, Hadrian's castle, and other ancient ruins. The pictures and models are very useful in comparing and contrasting the present to the past. However, this book is not ideal for finding extremely in-depth information on each ruin, only the general is covered. I would definately recommend this book for someone visiting Rome or a curious intellectual striving for more knowledge in a fun way.
Summary of Ancient Rome: Monuments Past and Present
[series copy]The Monuments Past and Present series explores the ancient regions of Rome, Greece, and Pompeii with an eye toward contrasting what they were with what they are today. Important monuments and districts are presented with overlays that clearly depict how these notable ancient sites look today and how they may have appeared when first built. These titles are excellent resources for travelers, students, and anyone else interested in the fascinating histories of these ancient regions.
Beginning with the Colosseum, the symbol of "The Eternal City," this volume explores twenty-four significant ancient landmarks such as the Roman Forum, Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, and the Appain Way.
