About this book

Italian soil has given up Etruscan tombs, Roman forums and the buried streets of Pompeii, and Paul MacKendrick tells how they were found and what they show. Published in 1960 after three years he spent in Italy, the book moves from prehistoric Puglia, Sardinian nuraghi and the Etruscans through early Rome, colonies such as Ostia and Cosa, and the building programmes of Sulla, Pompey, Caesar and Augustus. Later chapters take in Pompeii, Flavian Rome, Trajan and Hadrian, Roman engineering, the villa at Piazza Armerina and the Vatican cemetery. MacKendrick taught at the University of Wisconsin.
