Purchased this after our recent visit to Rome after we had a guided tour we were interested to learn more about the history of this amazing city.This book is very detailed and a very interesting read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything you wanted to know about Ancient Rome.
*by G***G on 8 January 2019*

This is easily one of the best and most comprehensive introductions to the world of Ancient Rome that I've come across. It's quite a handsome, chunky volume and covers in admirable breadth not only the history of Rome up to early Byzantine period but just about every aspect of Roman life such as literature, art, architecture, science and so on. As you would expect from the title the book has copious colour illustrations on almost every page and it's here I have a few quibbles. Many of the illustrations are of excellent quality but some are quite small and a tad murky and I think the editors might have done a bit of judicious pruning (does the reader really need to see Richard Burton and Liz Taylor as Antony and Cleopatra?) to allow some interesting works of art to be shown in larger format. Roman coins are also illustrated mostly in the form of very unconvincing drawings and as a numismatist who specialises in ancient coins I would much prefer to have seen actual Roman coins illustrated especially as they are often great works of portraiture. There are also occasional oversights e.g. the author fails to include Ammianus Marcellinus in his discussion of late Roman authors and fails to note in his discussion of Roman dress the change in the style of toga that occurred in the 3rd century. But let me not quibble too much. The book is a considerable achievement and what's more it's very affordable.
