For almost a thousand years, Rome held sway as the spiritual & artistic centre of the world. Hughes vividly recreates the ancient Rome of Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, Nero, Caligula, Cicero, Martial & Virgil. With the artistic blossoming of the Renaissance, he casts his unwavering critical eye over the great works of Raphael, Michelangelo & Brunelleschi, shedding new light on the Old Masters. In the seventeenth, eighteenth & nineteenth centuries, when Rome`s cultural predominance was assured, artists & tourists from all over Europe converged on the city.
