Ancient Rome 101

She Wolf
By Rick Steves and Gene Openshaw

For more than 20 years, Rick Steves' Europe 101 — written for smart people who slept through their history and art classes before they knew they were going to Europe — has been an invaluable resource for travelers. We decided it was time to spruce up this old standard, so this summer our staff has been hard at work doing a complete overhaul of Europe 101. When the new edition comes out in November of 2006, you'll find even more insightful, irreverent and engaging coverage of Europe's history and art, plus hundreds of full-color pictures.

Here's a preview of images and captions from the Rome chapter of the new Europe 101. Be sure to check out all Europe 101 Slideshows.
