Pagan and Christian Rome
מידע על ספר האודיו הזה
Pagan and Christian Rome comprises a parallel topographical and archaeological study of pagan and Christian Rome, showing the decline of one and the rise of the other.
The audiobook describes the transformation of Rome from a pagan to a Christian city, contrasts the pagan temples with Christian churches, pagan cemeteries with catacombs, and the tombs of the Emperors with the tombs of the Popes.
The author brings his knowledge of the subject in general to bear on those researches which have of late years made almost a new era in the archaeological history of the Eternal City; and his book is written in the same fascinating style as was his previous volume, Ancient Rome In the Light of Recent Discoveries.
