Product details

From Latin as a world language to Caesar's Gallic War; from Nero's burning Rome to the last days of Pompeii, from the death of the gladiator to the persecution of Christians, from Augustus' marble Rome to Theodor Mommsen's Roman history: In a total of 38 brilliantly written contributions, outstanding authors present the most important sites of memory in Roman history. Emerging from the smallest village beginnings, the city on the Tiber developed into a vast metropolis, indeed, the mistress of the ancient world. As immense as the space and time of Roman rule were, so unique and impactful appears the cultural and material legacy that Rome has left us. The authors of the "Sites of Memory" invite us to learn about and understand the most important milestones of intellectual and religious history, event and political history, cultural and legal history, and not least the archaeology of the Roman world in their timeless significance.

Thus, a book has emerged that has nothing to do with nostalgic evocation of the familiar, but rather a book of new and rediscoveries and, above all, a compelling example of a vibrant culture of memory; in short: a fascinating, engaging history and storytelling book about Roman antiquity.
