ISBN: 9780395822791.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pigeon carrying an important message takes the reader on a unique tour through Rome. As we follow the path of this somewhat wayward bird, we discover that Rome is a place where past and present live side by side. It is a city that has been recycling itself for two thousand years, but unlike a museum, Rome displays its remarkable history without respect for chronology. A new electric bus travels over cobblestone streets just ten feet above the floor of an ancient stadium. Inscriptions from tombs and temples share wall space with neon. Every time a corner is turned there is a surprise, just as every turn of the page brings a new perspective. This juxtaposition of ancient and modern, as seen with David Macaulays ingenious vision, gives the reader an imaginative and informative journey through this wondrous city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255326007349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0395822793","price":29.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780395822791_00a74a5e-01e0-416e-b393-c2d86a01be1b.jpg?v=1779926538","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rome-antics-9780395822791","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
