![]() ![]() Maybe it’s because I lived in Florence, Italy for three months in 2014 – Florence will always be “Firenzi” to me now : )Īs I said, Steven Saylor starts at the beginning (1,000-757 B.C.), and travels all the way through history until 44 B.C., basically ending with the fascinating story of Julius Caesar, Anthony and Cleopatra. I don’t completely understand the “Anglicization” of other countries’/cities’ names (is there a reason we can’t say “Roma”?), so first off I like that Steven Saylor went with “Roma” instead of Rome for his title. ![]() For those who have visited or will visit Rome, Italy, or have an interest in the history of Western civilization, this New York Times Bestseller, “Roma” (2007), could be a book for you! Author Steven Saylor starts at the BEGINNING with Remus and Romulus being raised by the mythical “she-wolf” (prostitute?), and then ultimately bringing about the founding of the powerful once-empire, now capital city of Italy, Rome. ![]()
