About This Item
This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, edges, and spine of the book. There is some bumping and fraying of the cover boards. The pages are yellowing and tanning, but the pages are clear of markings. The previous owner has signed the inside of the front cover board.
"How buildings and whole cities fell into ruin, how some vanished from sight and were rediscovered, is part of history. Archaeology, the study of ancient things, interprets what is found and explains, or even rewrites, history. From the places where the Romans lived, worked, worshiped, and amused themselves---from their burial places, too---from their art, their inscriptions, and their literature, we build up a picture of the Roman way of life, and people the past with living figures---not merely with stately statues...." - Chapter One from Roman Life
