Another excellent, thought provoking travel narrative from H.V. Morton. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is Rome, as magnificent as it is, gets a little weary after 400+ pages. ( )

The author also wrote of travels in Europe, South Africa, and through the "Lands of the Bible" in the steps of Jesus, the Master, and St. Paul. His non-travel book is "Women of the Bible". Not sure if the red-wheeled carrozzi still stand atop the Via Veneto, but the back story research still stands -- the Mithraic temple under the Church.
