The city of Rome is constructed of numerous historical layers and has been influenced by successions of styles, from antiquity to today.
With text by professor in art history Maria Fabricius Hansen and illustrations by graphic novelist Lars Horneman, the book introduces Rome's architecture and urban space while also giving an overview of European architectural history, as reflected in Rome's millennia of architectural change. The combination of text and illustrations make it a living history of the upheavals that have altered Rome's cityscape through the ages
