Spotlighting 50 surviving great works of Roman antiquity in full-page and double-page plates, this album considers the buildings, sculptures, and public works that both celebrated Roman identity and communicated its power to its citizens and visitors. Here are supreme constructions of the ancient world, including the Colosseum, the Arch of Titus, Caesar's Forum, the Aurelian Walls, and Trajan's Markets, as well as works of art from the Capitoline She-Wolf to the Mosaic of Theater Masks in the Villa Hadrian.
