Yet this ancient city’s allure is due as much to its rich, unbroken history as to its extraordinary array of landmarks. Countless incarnations and eras merge in the Roman cityscape. With a history spanning nearly three millennia, no other place can quite match the resilience and reinventions of the aptly nicknamed Eternal City. In this unique and visually engaging book, Jessica Maier considers Rome through the eyes of mapmakers and artists who have managed to capture something of its essence over the centuries. Viewing the city as not one but ten “Romes,” she explores how the varying maps and art reflect each era’s key themes. Ranging from modest to magnificent, the images comprise singular aesthetic monuments like paintings and grand prints as well as more popular and practical items like mass-produced tourist plans, archaeological surveys, and digitizations. The most iconic and important images of the city appear alongside relatively obscure, unassuming items that have just as much to teach us about Rome’s past. Through 140 full-color images and thoughtful overviews of each era, Maier provides an accessible, comprehensive look at Rome’s many overlapping layers of history in this landmark volume. The first English-language book to tell Rome’s rich story through its maps, The Eternal City beautifully captures the past, present, and future of one of the most famous and enduring places on the planet. Review: A History In Maps - it's exactly what it says it is - I bought this book ahead of a recent trip to Rome and am happy with my purchase. It's exactly what it says it is - a history of the city in maps. Yes, some of the maps are small. If you are trying to return a rental car in 6th Century AD Rome, you will not be able to use the maps to do it. However, if you are interested in learning how the city has changed through the centuries, and how maps of the city have changed as a way of displaying information, this is a very satisfactory book.

It's exactly what it says it is - a history of the city in maps. Yes, some of the maps are small.

The book is everything it promises to be, and more. You learn about Rome and you learn about the many ways maps were created and used over the centuries. I'm still working my way through it, joyfully, with magnifying glass in hand. (I highly recommend the use of the latter.) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/192593197-the-eternal-city-a-history-of-rome-in-maps](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/192593197-the-eternal-city-a-history-of-rome-in-maps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
