Great Book for Traveling Around and Learning About Rome
I really like this book. It has lots of nice pictures as well as facts and information about different historically important works and places in Rome. It is a small book (I wish it was soft cover though) that easily fits in your backpack if you are walking around the city and want to read up on places as you visit them. Or if you are planning a trip to Rome, it is a useful book to map out an itinerary of places you would like to visit and art you would like to see. I have learned a great deal from this little book and I highly recommend it.

One of the better general introductions I've ever read.

That sums it up.
