Walking Tours of Ancient Rome:
A Secular Guidebook to the Eternal City

This guidebook is designed for tourists and scholars who are interested in exploring first-hand the grandeur and magnificence that was ancient Rome through a Humanist, secular, and freethinking lens.

Twelve walking tours are designed around districts of the city. All are planned to be accessible by foot or a combination of foot and bus. It is also possible to design your own itinerary if you already know the city quite well.

Descriptions, historical information, and mythological backgrounds are given for hundreds of artifacts and pieces of art.

The "Companion" also incorporates two detailed day trips that are possible from the city center.

The second day trip travels to the remains of the expansive villa complex the emperor Hadrian built at Tivoli.
