We’ve caught our books in their natural habitat for On the Shelves this week. Rome: An Empire’s Story is the story of how this mammoth empire was created; God, Space, and City in the Roman Imagination is a unique exploration of the relationship between the ancient Romans’ visual and literary cultures and their imagination; and Saving the City: The Great Financial Crisis of 1914 is the compelling account of little known aspect of the crisis leading to the First World War.
