Blue Guide Rome: Award yourself a doctorate in Roman Studies

“Exuberantly impractical” may be overstating it, but we are happy that Liam Callanan (author of When in Rome) in a round-up of great books on Rome (in the Week, here ») sees Blue Guide Rome at the detailed and scholarly end of the range.

“This is a regularly updated guidebook that’s as exuberantly impractical — the latest edition clocks in at 703 pages of densely printed prose — as it is glorious. Award yourself a doctorate in Roman Studies when you close the final page.”
