Blue Guide Rome
Roma nascosta
By James A. Sullivan
Format: Paperback
This volume is like the older Blue Guides, deep in history if not as drenched with art objects or esoterica. One example, take the Aurelian Wall. Learn how the Romans loved it, they needed to keep out the barbarian hordes, naturally. The legions were busy skirmishing outside the city, so Roman citizens picked up their spades and did the building. A Trumpian moment, of course.
