This volume is a companion to "Walking Tours Of Ancient Rome", a guidebook designed for tourists and scholars who are interested in exploring firsthand the ruins of ancient Rome through a secular, Humanistic, and freethinking lens.
The "Companion" contains detailed entries on the collections of the Capitoline Museums, the Vatican Museums, the Museo Barracco, and the Palazzo Altemps. Descriptions, historical information, and mythological backgrounds are given for hundreds of artifacts and pieces of art.
This volume also incorporates two detailed day trips that are possible from the city center. The first visits the ruins of Rome's port city Ostia which is an excavated urban landscape comparable to Pompeii and Herculaneum. The second day trip travels to the remains of the expansive villa complex the emperor Hadrian built at Tivoli.
