About this audiobook
Any travel guide to Rome will urge visitors to go the Colosseum, but none answers a simple question: Why is it called the Colosseum?
The History of Rome in 12 Buildings: A Travel Companion to the Hidden Secrets of The Eternal City is compelling, concise, and fun, and takes you behind the iconic buildings to reveal the hidden stories of the people that forged the Roman Empire.
Typical travel guides provide torrents of information but deny their readers depth and perspective. In this gap is the really good stuff-the stories that make the buildings come alive and vividly enhance any trip to Rome.
The History of Rome in 12 Buildings will immerse you in the world of the Romans, one full of drama, intrigue, and scandal. With its help, you will be able to trace the rise and fall of the ancient world's greatest superpower:
#9679 Find the last resting spot of Julius Caesar.
#9679 Join Augustus as he offers sacrifices to the gods.
#9679 Discover the lie on the façade of the Pantheon.
#9679 Walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
#9679 And so much more.
