Al sinds de Oudheid staat Rome bekend als de Eeuwige Stad. En terecht, want de stad herbergt talloze vroeg-Romeinse overblijfselen. Maar naast het fysieke Rome kennen we ook het Rome zoals dat is overgeleverd in de antieke literatuur. Talloze gebouwen die allang verloren zijn gegaan leven voort in deze teksten. In De vereeuwigde stad staan beschrijvingen van twintig van dergelijke Romeinse locaties centraal. Met auteurs als Ovidius, Cicero en Vergilius als reisleider wordt een beeld geschetst van wat er ooit was. Het bijzondere van deze reisgids is dat hij een indruk geeft van het effect dat de monumenten hadden op de oude Romeinen. De lezer wordt meegenomen op een literaire wandeling door Rome en kan zich in heden en verleden oriënteren met behulp van een aantal plattegronden. Oude prenten en schetsen wakkeren de verbeelding verder aan. Zo spreekt het Rome van tweeduizend jaar geleden, vereeuwigd in literatuur, weer directer tot ons dan slechts door de fysieke resten. Met deze reisgids in de rugzak kun je terug stappen in de tijd en als een Romein naar de antieke monumenten kijken.

The Roman Empire traditionally presented itself as the centre of the world, a view sustained by ancient education and conveyed in imperial literature. Historiography in particular tended to be written from an empire-centred perspective. In Late Antiquity, however, that attitude was challenged by the fragmentation of the empire. This book explores how a post-imperial representation of space emerges in the historiography of that period. Minds adapted slowly, long ignoring Constantinople as the new capital and still finding counter-worlds at the edges of the world. Even in Christian literature, often thought of as introducing a new conception of space, the empire continued to influence geographies. Political changes and theological ideas, however, helped to imagine a transferral of empire away from Rome and to substitute ecclesiastical for imperial space. By the end of Late Antiquity, Rome was just one of many centres of the world.

This useful topographical dictionary was compiled by Samuel Ball Platner (1863-1921) of Western Reserve University in collaboration with Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), the third director of the British School of Archaeology at Rome. Sadly, Platner died before the work was completed, and Ashby eventually published it in 1929. The bulk of the work is an alphabetical list of the buildings, streets and geographical features in ancient Rome mentioned by ancient authors and/or discovered by more recent exploration and excavation of the ruins, with details about literary and historical references, and about the original and any surviving structure. There is also a chronological index to those monuments and other buildings that are dateable, and a large map (downloadable from the web at www.cambridge.org/9781108083249). With listings from 'Acca Larentia' to 'Zater(...nses)', the work is an invaluable tool in the exploration of Rome, whether by the scholar, student, or visitor.
