Il volume, dalla raffinata veste grafica, guida alla scoperta dell'area archeologica centrale di Roma, attraverso testi continui descrittivi chiari e accattivanti cui si accompagnano vere e proprie analisi d'opera dei monumenti principali e dei capolavori dell'arte antica custoditi nei musei. Godibile anche la lettura degli approfondimenti sugli aspetti più affascinanti della storia e della civiltà romane, dell'antiquaria, delle campagne di scavo, della fortuna letteraria che costellano l'itinerario di visita. Il percorso si avvia dal Foro Romano, un sito assai complesso dove coesistono costruzioni di epoche molto diverse dall'età arcaica all'Alto Medioevo, verso il Palatino, luogo mitico della fondazione della città da parte di Romolo con le sue case dipinte (dei Grifi, di Augusto e di Livia, l'Aula Isiaca) e le fastose dimore dei Cesari affacciate sul Circo Massimo. Grande rilievo è destinato al Campidoglio, sede dei Musei Capitolini, i più antichi musei del mondo di cui si visitano le sale storiche e i più recenti ampliamenti per apprezzarne i capolavori di scultura antica. Si attraversano anche i Fori Imperiali, descritti in ogni loro parte prima di approdare al Museo allestito nei Mercati di Traiano dove sono custoditi i reperti lì rinvenuti in scavi antichi e moderni. Non poteva mancare un'attenta disamina del monumento simbolo di Roma, il Colosseo, per il quale si attende una nuova stagione di restauri, e dei monumenti che lo circondano nella valle...
