Finding Ancient Rome

Updated second edition, March 2023. Ancient Rome is still with us, more than ever. Every year, with new metro lines, roadworks, digs, restorations and repairs, new discoveries are made and old errors corrected. And new questions raised.


This electronic book is intended as both a walking guide to ancient Rome and a resource for the city and the people who left their mark on history. Each of the excursions illustrates an aspect of the city from the foundation to the fall, and in passing explains the bits of modern Rome whose roots lie in that distant past.
