Imperial City: Rome, Romans and Napoleon, 1796-1815
by Susan Vandiver Nicassio
In 1798 the city of Rome was stirred from its slumber by the sudden arrival of the armies of the French Revolution. The Eternal City would never be the same again.

The French oversaw the transformation of the city from the capital of the Papal States to a short-lived 'Jacobin' Roman Republic. This experiment was soon swept away and the city emerged from the ensuing years of chaos only to find itself absorbed into Imperial France. The ...

Die Basilica Aemilia am Forum Romanum: Der kaiserzeitliche Bau und seine Ornamentik

St. Peter in Rom im 15. Jahrhundert: Studien zu Architektur und skulpturaler Ausstattung
by Hannes Roser
German Description:Die Peterskirche in Rom im 15. Jahrhundert wurde in der Forschung bislang nur unvollständig wahrgenommen. So konnte der Eindruck entstehen, die Basilika sei um 1500 baufällig und mit Ausstattungsstücken überfüllt gewesen dies widerlegt Roser. Er zeigt, dass umfangreiche Arbeiten für eine Restaurierung und Neuausstattung der altehrwürdigen Kirche sorgten.

A Victorian View of Ancient Rome: The Parker Collection of Historical Photographs in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
by Judith Keller and Kenneth A. Breisch

British antiquarian John Henry Parker (1806-1884) was among the first to use photography to document the surviving ruins of ancient Rome in the 1860s, but his project to do so remains little-understood and his photographs under-utilized. This illustrated book explores Parker's work through a rare set of his images housed in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, and reassesses the value of his legacy. 38p, 7 pls (Kelsey Museum 1980)
