This book is a search for the spirit of man through the surviving testament of the city of Rome. Rome has seen the birth of Romulus and the death of Keats, the first official slaughter of Christians in Nero's gardens close to the present Vatican, and the triumph of the lirst Christian emperor at the Milvian Bridge. It has been the seat of a great republic, of a still greater empire, of a theocratic state, of a monarchy, and yet again of a republic.
