Rome in Ruins --
Self-Guided Walks
Rome in Ruins is a series
of self-guided walks to the archeological sites of ancient Rome. Each
volume provides detailed information about the sites, a large scale map
showing the route to each site, instructions of how to get to the walk
area, a list of public toilets along the route, and photos of the
landmarks.
The first two volumes in the series are:
1. Along the Aurelian Wall,
a
volume containing three walks in the vicinity of the third century AD
defensive wall around the ancient city of Rome. This volume is
available from Amazon.com and its European affiliates in both a print
edition and a Kindle edition. The "Look Inside" feature on the Amazon
will permit you to see the general approach that we use in these
self-guided walks. Direct links are: print edition and
Kindle edition.
2. Campus Martius and Its Ancient Monuments provides a self-guided walk through the popular Campus Martius area of central Rome. Following a similar format as Along the Aurelian Wall, this volume takes you to many of the very popular sites as well as several less well known ruins in this precinct of Rome. Campus Martius and Its Ancient Monuments is available in both a print edition and a Kindle edition (the links to Amazon.com will allow you to "Look Inside" the guide to see how we present these walks).
3. The Public Land of Ostia Antica, the third volume in the series, is a walking guide to Ostia Antica,
the port city of ancient Rome. It is available in both a print edition and a Kindle edition (the links to Amazon.com will allow you to "Look Inside" the guide to see how we present these walks).
4. Constantine’s Rome: His Transformation of the Roman Empire,
the fourth volume in the series, is a walking guide to the buildings in
Rome associated with the Emperor Constantine and his family. Sixteen
buildings are highlighted in this book. The print edition is available, now!
