| Publisher Description: Jonathan Boardman uncovers Rome's multi-facted experience, where each layer of development rests upon the foundation of a preexisting tradition. In a place where political and religious idealogies have always expressed themselves through art, he also highlights a vibrant popular culture--from gladiatorial shows to the local Roma-Lazio soccer derby. |
