James H. S. McGregor

Rome is not one city but many, each with its own history unfolding from a different center. Beginning with the very shaping of the ground on which Rome first rose, this book conjures all these cities, past and present, conducting the reader through time and space to the complex and shifting realities‹architectural, historical, political, and social‹that constitute Rome.

"The Pantheon is an informative and extremely well organized [book on] one of the most important and influential buildings in world history. Throughout, the language is appealing...Not only a coherent summary of the history, description, and analysis of the building, but also a discussion of the relevant architectural issues within a larger framework."

Geert Mak

"Imaginative, engaging, and astute...As only an Amsterdammer can, Mak employs the tongue-in-cheek jest to describe the 'proverbial soberness' of the people and their modest, 'proud...even un-proud' self-regard...Vivid stories, chosen with a good eye for the interesting and the representative, create a well-rounded sense of the religious political, and cultural life in the city."
