What do I do if I'm attacked by barbarians? What are my legal options if I'm fed to the lions at the Colosseum? Designed as a parody of Fodor's guides, complete with humorous maps, reviews of top attractions (Julius Caesar's assassination is a must-see!), and tips on whom to have lunch with (Hannibal, assuming he doesn't kill you).
