Critics Review

‘All roads lead to Rome, but the fight is over which Rome? Whose Rome? This eloquent, well-researched, and witty book shows us that not only are the flat black and white memories of Rome the product of cynical political exploitation, but that the real thing was a riot of color and complexity that was so much more interesting!’

– David M. Perry, co-author of The Bright Ages and Oathbreakers
