Rome's legacy--as a city, religious site, and ancient empire--is unparalleled. The second most-visited city in the entire world, Rome's nearly three thousand years of history have long captivated travelers, from the historically minded to the culture-obsessed students studying abroad. In this addition to the new Shortest Cities subseries, Matthew Kneale brings readers into the heart of this ancient city and tells its story from an insider's perspective.

Including the key figures, turning point moments, and essential places to visit in person, Kneale pens an accessible and comprehensive compendium of Rome. Going beyond empire and conquest, this unique history hits the overlooked aspects of the Eternal City's intrigue, from ancient propaganda hidden around its most famous squares to the best hill to watch the sunset.

With the experience of a local and the narrative tact of an award-winning writer, Kneale's history of Rome honors one of history's most important cities and invites readers to appreciate why Rome has retained the interest and visitation of millions of people over time.

The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read.
