Roman Mosaics: Or Studies in Rome and Its Neighbourhood (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Roman Mosaics: Or Studies in Rome and Its NeighbourhoodMany of the points touched upon have pro voked endless disputations which are not likely soon to be settled. Indeed there is hardly any line of study one can take up in connection with Rome which does not bristle with controversies; and a feeling of perplexity and uncertainty con tinually haunts one in regard to most of the subjects. It is not only in the vague field of the early traditions of the city, and of the medieval traditions of the Church, that this feeling op presses one; it exists everywhere, even in the more solid and assured world of Roman art, literature, and history. Where it is so difficult to arrive at settled convictions, I may be par doned if I have expressed views that are open to reconsideration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
