A Treasure of Photographs and Illustrations

This is, in short, a beautiful book. In itself it suffices as a short inroduction to the history of the Roman empire. But the photographs and numerous illustrations are what make this book a small treasure. Having been to Italy and viewed many of the originals of the photographed statutes, frescoes, mosaics and historic sites, this is one of the most accurate and instructive "photo-histories" on the market. If you are...

On 292 pages, the book encompasses 358 color photos, 30 color drawings (mostly architectural) and 45 maps.The book is organized in five sections - an overview of the 11 centuries of history; social aspects from shelter to spectacles; the splendors of the capital; Roman civilization...

Learn Something From a Coffee Table Book

Readers will no doubt wonder why they would want to read this book rather than a myriad of other coffee table books on the subject of the Roman Empire. I can not claim that I have read"almost all" of them. I have not. I have read only some of them. What makes Liberati's book different... and better... than these others is that she organizes her work topically and not just geographically. The pictures are scrumptious, simply...

An...

Great visuals

This book is not much on narration -- but it isn't really supposed to be. The book is filled with outstanding photographs, prints, drawings, maps, and architectural plans that will be useful to anyone in the business of teaching social studies. This is one of those wonderfully inexpensive oversized hardcover books that makes you feel good just by owning it.
