No city in the world has so many facets, such varied appeals to different people, as Rome. Walking through its streets one comes upon relies and reminders of the Rome of the Republic, of early legends (but the Tarpeian Rock is still there to corroborate them), the Rome of the Cæsars. the Rome of the early Christians, of the medieval Popes, the Renaissance Rome of Benvenuto Cellini and Michelangelo and the Borgias, the decadent Rome of the foreign domination, Rome the capital of unified Italy and now the new Rome of Mussolini and the Fascist spirit. Mr. Colin Coote has lived in Rome as correspondent of The Times. His books on Rome have guided the feet of many thousands of visitors to the city
