More about the book
Every visitor to an archaeological site knows the difficulty, often indeed the impossibility, of imagining what it was like before its buildings were destroyed. The ruins are dead things; they speak their own language, which is romantic enough, but does not evoke a picture of the monuments in their original life and splendour. This is a guide that will help him to see not only what a monument is, but, at the same time, what it was.
