This book invites readers to join Joe Gartman, culture columnist for Italia! Magazine, on a journey to 80 of Rome's celebrated fountains, to find a more intimate way of experiencing the Eternal City. On foot with book in hand, or simply in imagination, each chapter takes readers on a vivid walk, enhanced with colorful, revealing photographs of Roman life. Every fountain in Rome tells a story; every story is about Rome: her history, her legends, and her extraordinary people, from poets to popes, artists to models, architects to emperors. Every street, piazza, wall and garden that contains a fountain has a past worth knowing. The reader is invited to follow the paths in this book, with 15 different turn-by-turn walking tours, 17 maps, and 181 photos. There are plenty of things to see along the way, especially the artistic treasures that await behind unexpected doors. In your armchair or on your feet, journey from Trevi's torrents to the Naiad's naughty nymphs; from the quiet basins in Piazza San Simeone to Bernini's mighty Four Rivers in Piazza Navona; from the Dark Fountains in Villa Borghese to the charming lionesses in Piazza del Popolo; and listen to the voices of the water.

One afternoon as Gordianus the Finder is crossing the marketplace, a beautiful young seeress staggers towards him and dies in his arms. Possibly insane, and with no memory of her past Cassandra - like her Trojan namesake - had been reputed to possess the true gift of prophecy. For such a gift there are many in Rome who would pay handsomely...or resort to murder. Cassandra had been the confidante of the rich and powerful, until she fell victim to vicious killer. Obsessed with Cassandra and her mystery, Gordianus begins to investigate. As the citizens of Rome nervously await news of the war and the political situation verges on chaos, Gordianus gradually peels away the veils of secrecy that surround Cassandra's life and death. What he uncovers has deadly implications, involving some if the most powerful women in Rome - Gordianus's pursuit of the truth not only endangers his own life, but could well affect the future of Rome herself.

In this volume, literary scholars and ancient historians from across the globe investigate the creation, manipulation and representation of ancient war landscapes in literature. Landscape can spark armed conflict, dictate its progress and influence the affective experience of its participants. At the same time, warfare transforms landscapes, both physically and in the way in which they are later perceived and experienced. Landscapes of War in Greek and Roman Literature breaks new ground in exploring Greco-Roman literary responses to this complex interrelationship. Drawing on current ideas in cognitive theory, memory studies, ecocriticism and other fields, its individual chapters engage with such questions as: how did the Greeks and Romans represent the effects of war on the natural world? What distinctions did they see between spaces of war and other landscapes? How did they encode different experiences of war in literary representations of landscape? How was memory tied to landscape in wartime or its aftermath? And in what ways did ancient war landscapes shape modern experiences and representations of war? In four sections, contributors explore combatants' perception and experience of war landscapes, the relationship between war and the natural world, symbolic and actual forms of territorial control in a military context, and war landscapes as spaces of memory. Several contributions focus especially on modern intersections of war, landscape and the classical past.

*An Italian bestseller* 1430 A.D. - Csaba has no memory of his childhood when he is given as a gift by David of Trebizond to Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last basileus of the Eastern empire. However, a centuries-old legend is attached to his name, which will lead the emperor to take him with him, making him a pillar of the resistance against the Ottomans. And even when everything will collapse, it will be impossible for him to forget his loyalty to the last legacy of Rome's millennial history. He will then begin a peregrination that will lead him to fight alongside some of the most important and valiant lords of the last years of the Middle Ages. In the hope of bringing back to life an empire born one thousand and five hundred years earlier, and now doomed to darkness.

Excerpt from An Epitome of Niebuhr's History of Rome, Vol. 2: With Chronological Tables and an Appendix The third volume of the History of Rome, to the future publication of which Niebuhr alludes in his preface to the second, and which he had intended to complete after a short interval of rest, has not been transmitted to us in the perfection of the original design. Before the final revision could take place, the author was no more, and the hand, the last touches of which were still wanting to give full life to the work, was itself at rest for ever. For those, however, who love to look into the mirror of the past, and to trace the working of the political and social as well as of the moral laws of this world, whose delight it may have been to accompany Niebuhr in his researches into the dark and mysterious period of Roman history, and not to start away and leave him whenever he has led them forth into the light, it must doubtless have been a consolation, though a painful one, to know, that though the eye which had pierced through the mist was now quenched in slumber, it had surveyed the path for some distance in advance, and had noted down its observations for their guidance.
