This volume is a companion to "Walking Tours Of Ancient Rome", a
guidebook designed for tourists and scholars who are interested in
exploring firsthand the ruins of ancient Rome through a secular,
Humanistic, and freethinking lens. The "Companion" contains
detailed entries on the collections of the Capitoline Museums, the
Vatican Museums, the Museo Barracco, and the Palazzo Altemps.
Descriptions, historical information, and mythological backgrounds
are given for hundreds of artifacts and pieces of art. This volume
also incorporates two detailed day trips that are possible from the
city center. The first visits the ruins of Rome's port city Ostia
which is an excavated urban landscape comparable to Pompeii and
Herculaneum. The second day trip travels to the remains of the
expansive villa complex the emperor Hadrian built at Tivoli.
