Download or read book Pictures of Old Rome written by Frances Minto Dickinson Elliot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures of Old Rome by Frances Minto Dickinson Elliot is an enchanting account of Roman history in all its glory. Elliot opens a window into the world of Rome in its ancient days through a descriptive narrative that is sure to make the reader feel the sights and sounds he painstakingly constructs throughout the course of this book. Spread across thirteen chapters, Pictures of Old Rome starts with an account of the Piazza Del Popolo in all its grandeur. The author sets the tone for the rest of the text with an imaginative recollection of events as they would have been in ancient times, with references to the Emperor's parades and victory marches through the Piazza. He then moves on to describe various other points of attraction in the city including the mausoleum of Augustus, the catacombs, San Gregorio and many more. It is, however, Elliot's description of Rome's socio-economic dichotomy that keeps the reader enthralled. While a majority of the work praises and applauds the magnificent architecture and cultural revolution of Rome, it is in the chapter on Rome's Interiors that the reader will fully understand the stark differences between the rich and the poor and the urban rural divide that existed in old Rome. Elliot adopts sanguine language and liberal use of superlatives in this gripping recount of Rome in the days of the empire. Pictures of Old Rome is a must read for all those who are keen to learn more about this historical place whilst also being a treasure trove of information for travel enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Download or read book A Day in Old Rome written by Dr. William Stearns Davis and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tries to describe what an intelligent person would have witnessed in Ancient Rome if by some legerdemain he had been translated to the Second Christian Century, and conducted about the imperial city under competent guidance. The year 134 after Christ has been chosen as the hypothetical time of this visit, not from any special virtue in that date, but because Rome was then architecturally nearly completed, the Empire seemed in its most prosperous state, although many of the old usages and traditions of the Republic still survived, and the evil days of decadence were as yet hardly visible in the background. The time of the absence of Hadrian from his capital was selected particularly, in order that interest could be concentrated upon the life and doings of the great city itself, and upon its vast populace of slaves, plebeians, and nobles, not upon the splendid despot and his court, matters too often the center for attention by students of the Roman past. At the time of original publication in 1925, William Stearns Davis was Professor of Ancient History, University of Minnesota. Richly illustrated throughout.
