This superb guide brings the work of Filippo Coarelli, one of the
most widely published and well-known scholars of Roman topography,
archeology and art, to a broad English-language audience.
Conveniently organized by walking tours and illustrated throughout
with clear maps, drawings, and plans, Rome and Environs: An
Archaeological Guide covers all of the major, and an unparalleled
number of minor, ancient sites in the city, and, unlike most other

reach of the city, such as Ostia Antica, Palestrina, Tivoli, and
the many areas of interest along the ancient Roman roads. An
essential resource for tourists interested in a deeper
understanding of Rome's classical remains, it is also the ideal
book for students and scholars approaching the ancient history of
one of the world's most fascinating cities. - Covers all the major
sites including the Capitoline, the Roman Forum, the Imperial Fora,
the Palatine Hill, the Valley of the Colosseum, the Esquiline, the
Caelian, the Quirinal, and the Campus Martius. - Discusses
important clusters of sites-one on the area surrounding Circus
Maximus and the other in the vicinity of the Trastevere, including
the Aventine and the Vatican. - Covers the history and development
of the city walls and aqueducts. - Follows major highways leading
