Summary "Rambles in Rome" by S. Russell Forbes is an archaeological and historical guide written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive companion for travelers to Rome, chronicling significant museums, galleries, churches, and ancient ruins while also providing insights into their historical contexts. This guide is likely aimed at visitors seeking to deepen their understanding of Rome’s rich heritage through concise commentary on its artifacts and landmarks. At the start of the guide, the author expresses the intent to provide visitors with practical descriptions of notable sites in Rome. He encourages readers to explore the city through a series of "Rambles," offering guidance on routes that showcase both the major attractions and hidden treasures. The opening chapters include introductory observations about Rome’s geography, hints for health and safety, and a brief history explaining the city's gradual decline into ruins, setting the stage for detailed explorations of specific locations in the subsequent sections.
