"This is a good concise history of the fortification of the city of Rome from ancient times through the time of unification...a good reference for anyone interested in the defenses of Rome at the time of the decline of the empire." --J.E. Kaufmann, SiteO Newsletter (May 2008)"Includes a great variety of photos and wonderfully detailed illustrations as it describes how, why and where the walls were constructed. There is particular focus on the Aurelian Wall in Rome." --DIG Magazine (May/June 2013)"In all, this is an outstanding addition to the Fortress series and one that we can use both as a historical reference and as a guide to find and see these remnants for ourselves." --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (May 2008)
