Product Description
The archaeology of early Rome has progressed rapidly and dramatically over the last century; most recently with the discovery of the shrine of Aeneas at Lavinium and the reports of the walls of the Romulan city discovered on the city slopes of the Palatine Hill.
The Archaeology of Early Rome and Latium presents the most recent discoveries in Rome and its surroundings: princely tombs, inscriptions and patrician houses are included in a complete overview of the subject and the controversies surrounding it. This comprehensively illustrated study fills the need for an accessible English guide to these new discoveries, and in preparation, the author interviewed most of the leading figures in current research on the early periods of Rome.

As a self-taught student on the history of archaeology in Rome, Prof. Holloway's book is welcomed edition to a long neglected area of research and interest in field of classical archaeology in Rome. Prof. Holloway works also illustrates some of the problems both past and present archaeologist i.e G.Boni, E. Gjerstad and the yet to be published work of Prof. A. Carandini , whose controversial excavations at the base of the Palatine hill (1985-1990) which Prof. Holloway briefly illustrates the significance of Carandini's work. Anyone interested in the field of classical archaeology in Rome, and the history of archaeology on Rome during the late 19th cent,and the early 20th century, will find this book both interesting and enjoyable, especially the illustrations of recent discovers in the Roman forum during the past decade.
