520 _a"Old Rome: A Handbook to the Ruins of the City and the Campagna" by Robert Burn is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This handbook serves as a guide for travelers visiting Rome, focusing specifically on the actual ruins and monuments of ancient Rome and its surrounding areas, known as the Campagna. It aims to provide brief descriptions of these sites along with historical and archaeological context, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the remnants of Roman civilization. At the start of the work, the author outlines the purpose of the handbook, emphasizing its role as a practical guide for exploring the ruins. Burn discusses the significance of the natural geography of Rome and how it influenced the city's development and the character of its inhabitants. He explains that the book will not delve into speculative or conjectural discussions but will provide concise historical information about each listed ruin and its archaeological importance. This opening sets the stage for the detailed explorations and descriptions of Roman ruins that will follow in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
