INTRODUCTION

Rome was one of the three pillars of Western civilization. Of the other two, Rome subsumed one (Greece) and succoured the last (Christianity).

It is little surprise, then, that Rome still looms so large in the landscape of Western culture: Roman Catholic; modern legal systems (based on Justininians Corpus Juris Civilis); the month of July (after Julius Caesar); the tradition of carrying brides across the threshold (a Roman rite); the Latin-derived languages of Italy, France, Portugal and Spain. Even English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons, is 33 per cent based on Latin.

Meanwhile, the physical landscape of the West bears countless imprints of Rome: the ruler-straight road that is the Fosse Way, the aquaduct at Nimes, the Colosseum in Rome, the amphitheatre at Caerleon, the baths at Bath. And when real Roman buildings have fallen to dust, generations of architects have revived the Classical style. There are middle-class housing projects the Western world over which have fake Roman columns around the portal.
