The book -- and I'm sure a new reprint won't do at all (not Scullard's updated version!), it must be an old version like the 1960 edition I have -- is a treasure, a true gem for the book lover.
It is a classic of scholarship, first of all. One of the perennial histories that has stood the test of time. But it is more than that. It is a sacred object, in its way. Each dense paragraph has a single italicized sentence in the margin succinctly summarizing the paragraph, for easier assimilation of the thread of the account.
It has plates with old photographs and drawings of important sites, including architectural plans of major buildings and public places. It has maps that are delicately and precisely folded into the pages, so one turns the page and unfolds a new mystery.
There is a pull-out glossary of Latin terms and major Latin aphorisms, with author.
To remove the volume from the shelf and open it is to travel into a magical place of the past, the closest to time travel we have, and all by way of a book of the type "they don't make anymore", rendered with love and care.
Probably not the book for the latest viewpoint. But this seemed like the place to profess my love!… (altro)
