Book excerpt: In this rich history of Italy's Tiber River, Bruce Ware Allen charts the main currents, mythic headwaters, and hidden tributaries of one of the world's most renowned waterways.

Tiber: Eternal River of Rome is a highly readable history and a go-to resource for information about Italy's most storied river.
