The Latin Inscriptions of Rome: A Walking Guide

Latin is a less and less common attainment even among educated travellers, so Tyler Lansford has come to the rescue . . . If this book is not slipped into many a Rome-bound suitcase, there is no justice in the world. I can think of few more enjoyable companions on a prowl through the city.
—Jane Stevenson, Times Literary Supplement The Latin Inscriptions of Rome is a delight, one to which I shall turn and to which I shall send my students when in Rome, and which I recommend to everyone interested in gaining a wealth of detailed information about ''the epigraphic habit'' and its importance to our understanding not just of ancient Rome, but of every era of the Eternal City''s incredible history.
—James C. Anderson, Classical Outlook Tyler Lansford . . . has put together the most original and stimulating guide to the Eternal City of the hundreds published in recent years.
—Masolino D''Amico, La Stampa This unique guide will prove a fascinating and illuminating companion for both sophisticated visitors to the Eternal City and armchair travelers seeking a novel perspective into Rome's rich history.
