Description
Rome Eternal City by Ferdinand Addis brings to life the city's long and rich history through 22 vivid episodes. From its founding to the present day, Rome has captivated the world with its grand narrative. This sweeping account spans three millennia of violence, art, and politics, from the murder of Caesar to the construction of St Peter's Basilica. Addis masterfully weaves together a kaleidoscopic history of a city that has been shaped by republicanism, dictatorship, Christian orthodoxy, and high art. With its snappy paragraphs underpinned by serious reading, this book is an epic and engaging exploration of Rome's complex past.
