Explore Rome’s monuments with a practical, travel-smart guide. Classical Rome leads you through the capital’s most important sites in a thoughtful order, helping you see the city as a connected whole rather than a collection of stops.
Designed for curious visitors and serious students alike, this edition frames top-tier museums and monumental ruins within their city context. It emphasizes where to begin, how sites relate to one another, and how to balance time between “must-see” landmarks and related collections.
Ideal for readers planning a focused, in-depth exploration of Classical Rome.

Excerpt from Classical Rome
A Short section on the walls of Rome is inserted at the close of the book. Both the early and the late lines of fortification are well worthy of study and most interesting to follow; but the traveller need not, indeed should not, begin with an examination of them.
