Publisher's note: "Both the tourist and the student will be attracted by this book, whose author has lived in Italy and studied its archaeology for many years. Readers of this clear Guide to the ancient sites of Central Italy, whether in the towns or out on the lonely highlands, will have no need to search among medieval churches and modern advertisements for the meagre small-type notes on relics of antiquity: everything is clearly set out as a journey along the main roads which as in Italy are numbered and have the distances plainly marked at the side. Museum collections are listed and the most interesting things noted and described. The way the peoples of Central Italy lived in the simple Palaeolithic rock-shelters; the fabulous tombs of the Etruscans, the austere beauty of the marble palaces of the Imperial Caesars, all are included. There are brief historical notes."
