Historical Pictures of Pagan and Christian Rome: Addressed to Strangers is a book written by Frances Elliot and published in 1855. The book is a detailed account of the historical and cultural significance of Rome, with a focus on the transition from pagan to Christian Rome. Elliot takes the reader on a journey through the city, exploring its landmarks, monuments, and architecture, and providing a historical context for each. She describes the ancient pagan temples, such as the Pantheon and the Temple of Jupiter, and explains their significance in Roman society. She also delves into the early Christian churches, such as St. Peter's Basilica and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, and discusses their role in the spread of Christianity throughout the city.The book is addressed to strangers, or visitors to Rome, and as such, Elliot provides practical information about the city, such as the best times to visit certain landmarks and how to navigate the city's streets. The book also includes illustrations and engravings of the city's landmarks, adding to the reader's understanding and appreciation of the city's rich history and culture.Overall, Historical Pictures of Pagan and Christian Rome: Addressed to Strangers is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Rome, and provides a unique perspective on the city's transition from paganism to Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
