THE ATLAS OF ANCIENT ROME - ANDREA CARANDINI GE...

The Atlas of Ancient Rome provides a comprehensive archaeological survey of the city of Rome
from prehistory to the medieval period. Lavishly illustrated throughout with full-color maps 
drawings and photos  and 3D reconstructions  this magnificent two-volume slipcased edition is
destined to become the standard reference for scholars  students  and anyone interested in Rome
and its history and art. The Atlas of Ancient Rome is monumental in scope. It examines the
city's topography and political-administrative divisions  trade and economic production  and
social landscape and infrastructure--from residential neighborhoods and gardens to walls  roads
aqueducts  and sewers. It describes the fourteen regions of Rome and the urban history of each
one in unprecedented detail  and includes profiles and reconstructions of major monuments and
works of art. This is the only atlas of the ancient city to incorporate the most current
archaeological findings and the latest mapping technologies. In addition  the book is organized
thematically and topographically rather than alphabetically--providing readers with a
topographic perspective on the city as a whole rather than a series of discrete essays--and
also includes invaluable material on late antique and early medieval Rome.
