Description: "The product of many year' gestation, this book provides the reader with a picture of Rome and the Romans as seen by our forebears over the past five hundred years.  Some 100 British travellers to the 'The Eternal City' are represented here and they describe Rome and its people for us, saying something about British attitudes to Romans in particular, but also to foreigners and foreign travel in general."--back cover
