Lexicon topographicum urbis Romae Suburbium

di Adriano La Regina, Vincenzo Fiocchi Nicolai, Maria Grazia Granino Cecere, Zaccaria Mari

The Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae is a multi-volume set that contains 2,300 entries on the topography of ancient Rome. It provides an up-to-date account of current research on public and private buildings and monuments constructed within the Aurelianic walls through the early seventh century A.D. Both classical and Christian structures are discussed, whether identified through archaeological remains or known only from ancient or later sources. This final volume includes analytic indexes to monuments and persons, a general bibliography, and articles on the sources used by the contributors, such as ancient plans, coins, and historical reliefs. The successor to Platner and Ashby's Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, now out of print, the Lexicon is published by Edizioni Quasar of Rome and distributed in North America by the J. Paul Getty Museum.
