Classical Rome

by Henry Stuart Jones

Excerpt from Classical Rome

A Short section on the walls of Rome is inserted at the close of the book. Both the early and the late lines of fortification are well worthy of study and most interesting to follow; but the traveller need not, indeed should not, begin with an examination of them.
