The Latin Inscriptions of Rome: A Walking Guide
This book is wonderful. My head is full of information I didn't know about Rome, despite my many years there. Lansford's evocative depictions of monuments, cityscape, and memorable humans have inspired me anew with the fascination of Rome.(Mary T. Boatwright, Duke University)Latin is a less and less common attainment even among educated travellers, so Tyler Lansford has come to the rescue... If this book is not slipped into many a Rome-bound suitcase, there is no justice in the world. I can think of few more enjoyable companions on a prowl through the city.(Jane StevensonTimes Literary SupplementApril 16, 2010)The Latin Inscriptions of Rome is a delight, one to which I shall turn and to which I shall send my students when in Rome, and which I recommend to everyone interested in gaining a wealth of detailed information about 'the epigraphic habit' and its importance to our understanding not just of ancient Rome, but of every era of the Eternal City's incredible history.(James C. AndersonClassical Outlook)Tyler Lansford... has put together the most original and stimulating guide to the Eternal City of the hundreds published in recent years.(Masolino D'AmicoLa Stampa)
