Review: Rome: A Cultural, Visual, and Personal History


Rome: A Cultural, Visual, and Personal History by Robert Hughes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you’re interested in the history of Rome, with a bias toward the artistic history, this book is entertaining and engaging, even if poorly edited. There are numerous instances of redundancy and inaccuracy. As you get into the modern period, Hughes’ critical biases come a bit much to the fore. But still, I mostly enjoyed it.
