The Ancient Roman City

Front Cover
2 Reviews
JHU Press, 1988 - History - 395 pages
To walk through Rome today is to find the past made present at nearly every corner. For John Stambaugh, this continuity of fabric, form, and function affords an extraordinary view of the ancient city, the experience of its inhabitants, and the Roman way of life. Exploring ancient Rome as both a physical and social environment, he has written the first extended survey of its development in English - and a vivid "guidebook into the living past of one of the most emphatically urban cities the world has ever known."

A book written apparently to support the CSSAAR curriculum, it is a fine text that balances a very broad field of information and a very succinct treatment. I intend to use this as a part of my reading materials for a planned course on the ancient Roman city.

As I don't remember much of it at all, I have to assume that it was not a very fine textbook. Read full review
