Exploring Ancient Rome: Essential Guide to the Historic City

Going to Rome? Do it differently than the mass tourists. Patty Civalleri shows you how to visit the capital of Italy while going slower (not faster), avoiding the crowds, staying cool, and getting to know its true heart. If you have been to Rome before, Patty will take you deeper by showing you hundreds of other sites that were left behind by the Romans. Most guides focus only on 6 or 7 sites, but Patty has discovered hundreds of exciting, compelling, photographically rich sites that even repeat visitors will be enthralled with.
You’ve already done ‘tourist’ Rome, now let Patty Civalleri take you deeper into the good, the bad, and the beautiful Eternal City.

The guide includes a SpiniCity Planning Board and a map that has all the sites included in the book. You can take a chance and spin the board to see what site you’ll visit, or take a look at the map if you’re not sure where to go next. No more pre-planning needed.Skillfully Organised: The travel book is color-coded and organized so you can connect the dots and experience jaw-dropping ‘AHA!’ moments everywhere you go. It also includes a bookmark with 100 sticky tabs to help keep your days organized. You’ll have everything you need to discover Rome.Note from the Author: Using my background in world history and archaeology, I dove deeply into Rome and honed its incredible story into this one little book. In fact, I have also created similar books for both Florence as well as Venice. Something that is very important to me as a writer is that none of my books were written to adhere to any particular template, as is so common in today’s travel books. I wanted each city to tell me how its book should be written, and to dictate the format of that book.
