This book offers a detailed comparative study of ancient and modern Rome, examining how many aspects of their societies have been shaped by similar impulses and needs. Its main focus is not to contrast the two cities as separate entities but to emphasize their continuity across the centuries. The author discusses a wide range of topics, including the provision of water, medical knowledge, sanitation, and leisure activities. The author argues that Rome's legacy endures not only in its ruins but also in the day-to-day life of the city. This book highlights how government initiatives, religious beliefs and values shape living conditions, showing how urban experiences in ancient Rome hold startling relevance for us today.
