Reviews

'The essays are [...] well written and interesting... Recommended.' Choice '... a rich and layered collage that is tantalizing and necessarily incomplete... This volume both gives comprehensive form to many significant details of the city and illuminates the path for further exploration.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'This is an excellent book, with few weaknesses, and recommended highly for historians, art historians, archaeologists, and students of film, politics, and cultural theory. Read as a whole from cover to cover, it provides a fascinating, kaleidoscopic view of an ever-changing city. Of course, it is also a delight for any lover of Rome and, for a part-time resident of the city like myself, will provide many new perspectives literal and metaphorical.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'Where the Victor Emanuel monument fails, the editors of this book succeed... With a foreword by an urban planner, a concluding chapter by an archaeologist, and essays contained between them by scholars from a range of fields, the interdisciplinary nature of this book is one of its strengths.' Renaissance Quarterly '... a stimulating book and one that throws a bridge across archaeology, architecture, urbanism and art, and between ancient, medieval and modern times.' Medieval Archaeology
