Excerpt from The Destruction of Ancient Rome: A Sketch of the History of the Monuments
Professor Rodolfo Lanciani needs no introduction to English readers.
This book sums up briefly the results of researches, extending over many years, in regard to the fate of the buildings and masterpieces of art in ancient Rome. In his work upon this subject and upon his large map Professor Lanciani has searched hundreds of volumes of municipal and ecclesiastical records, besides examining several thousand separate documents; and he has ransacked the principal libraries of Europe for prints and drawings showing the remains of ancient Rome at different periods. Much of the new material thus collected will appear in fuller form in an extensive work, comprising several volumes, which will be published in Italian under the title Storia degli Scavi di Roma. The present volume is a forerunner of the larger work.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique exploration of the disappearance of Ancient Rome's monumental architecture, moving beyond the simplistic narrative of barbarian destruction. The author reveals a more complex story, tracing the cityââ â¢s gradual transformation from its earliest days through the periods of empire, Byzantium, and the Middle Ages. The book delves into how Roman emperors, often in the name of progress, repurposed and destroyed earlier structures, paving the way for their own ambitious building projects. The author meticulously documents how the city was reconstructed after devastating fires, with the valuable materials of previous buildings often reused for new ones. The book reveals the striking extent to which the later Roman Empire, especially under Constantine, relied upon the dismantling of earlier monuments for its own architectural endeavors, turning statues and marble into common building materials. This insightful work sheds light on the intricate and often overlooked processes that contributed to the gradual disappearance of Ancient Romeââ â¢s majestic buildings, offering a nuanced understanding of the city's architectural history.
