Chronicles of Old Rome: Exploring Italy's Eternal City

***AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR*** Discover la dolce vita with Chronicles of Old Rome, the fifth instalment of Museyon's Chronicles series of historical guidebooks. Travel writer Tamara Thiessen takes readers on a whirlwind tour of Italy's historic capital through 30 dramatic true stories spanning nearly 3,000 years, plus detailed walking tours complete with easy-to-read maps. From the Curia Pompei, site of Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, to the Borgia Apartments in the Vatican, see the real-life places where history happened in this richly illustrated guide. Then relax like Goethe and Keats at the Cafe Greco, Rome's chicest coffee bar since 1760 or visit the Palazzo Colonna, site of Audrey Hepburn's Roman Holiday. The sweet life indeed!
