Rome's architectural remains date as far back as the city's
founding in the 8th century BCE. The primitive settlement that
began on the Palatine Hill grew over the next thousand years to the
caput mundi the capital of the world the largest, most powerful
presence in the ancient Western world. Along the way, Rome's
architectural styles, whether developed organically or appropriated
from the cultures it subjugated and absorbed, were physical
evidence of the politics, propaganda and pragmatism of the times.
Written for readers passionate about Rome and how its architecture
is inimitably linked to the city's history, An Architecture Lover's
Guide to Rome is the armchair architect's tour of the Eternal City.
It provides a timeline that begins with the founding of Rome and
documents its significant architectural monuments and styles
through the millennia, with photos, maps and practical information
for visiting.
