The Roman Forum by Grant, Michael - 1970

The MacMillan Company, 1970. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. From the book, ""The Roman Forum is the most famous city square and meeting place in the whole world, and in all history. No other equally small area has seen such a multiplicity of happenings. We know a great deal about it from what the Romans wrote; and its mass of ruins spreading over the ground is one of the most imposing testimonies that antiquity has handed down to us. They are enormous yet fragmentary, crammed with history but confusing. In this book, Dr. Michael Grant, by his description, and Werner Forman, by his photographs, endeavor to chart a way though these imposing and magnificent remains, emphasizing what is important and beautiful in them, and explaining their grandeur and meaning.""
