4.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough, excellent reference, March 7, 1999

By	Amanda Powter (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I used this text when I studied Roman Architecture and when I went to Rome. It is an excellent text and has good illustrations, although the pictures are occasionally blurry. I would recommend taking this with you if you would like to know just a little bit more about the ancient ruins you are looking at in Rome, even if it is heavy.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit dry, though an interesting topic..., January 9, 2004

By A Customer

This book is jam-packed with information about Rome and its architecture. However, it does not present information in the most readable format. This book was downright painful at times (especially the night before a test). However, after having read it, I do feel that I know a great deal more about the topic. Does provide a nice foundation for further study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frank Sear, March 11, 2002

By A Customer

Just a quick note. I had Frank Sear as a lecturer a few years back and he was fantastic. If his book is as good as his lecturing it'd be well worth the money.
