Ancient Rome: The Definitive Visual History Review: Gorgeous photos, high quality printing, well organized Rome History - HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Ancient Rome: The Definitive Visual History (DK Definitive Visual Histories): PERFECT! VERY HIGH QUALITY & WELL DONE. My 2nd DK Definitive Visual History. My 1st DK was Egypt. I LOVE the DK series. Plush cover. This has high quality large pages, sharp printing, lavish photos, and well-organized factual information about Ancient Rome. This is a great companion volume to reading other books about Ancient Rome, or a stand-alone tome to prepare for travel to Roman sites or museums with Roman artifacts. Well-organized history so you can quickly find what you wish to know. BEAUTIFUL book worthy of gift-giving or for anyone who loves books. A BARGAIN at this price. A team of 10 Professors of history contributed the knowledge contained within. I bought this to go along with listening to the Roman History podcast. I also bought a few other Ancient Rome books, and this will help me integrate everything, plus see the real (ruined) buildings, mosaics, jewelry, etc of the time. A great find. 400 pages. I am going to put my money where my mouth is and buy 2 more of the DK histories right now. NOTE: some of their books are in cooperation with The Smithsonian. I cannot recommend these enough. I would definitely gift these, and I now want to own them ALL.

They covered a lot of the same material, giving validity to the stories and timeline. I wish I'd found it sooner so I could have read all of it before my trip - I'd say it's worth the splurge! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,480 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Italian History (Books) #31 in Ancient Roman History (Books) #123 in Historical Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 516 Reviews | ## Images ![Ancient Rome: The Definitive Visual History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qvhtZH+kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous photos, high quality printing, well organized Rome History *by G***A on July 5, 2024* HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Ancient Rome: The Definitive Visual History (DK Definitive Visual Histories): PERFECT!

They covered a lot of the same material, giving validity to the stories and timeline. I wish I'd found it sooner so I could have read all of it before my trip - I'd say it's worth the splurge! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book *by A***J on August 19, 2025* This is a beautiful book, full of interesting information and gorgeous illustrations. This is not to be read in one sitting, but enjoyed in different sessions. The content is academically rigorous, but limited by the format, and should be seen more as a great introduction to ancient Rome, and not as a formal history book. This would be a great gift for anyone interested in ancient history. I liked it so much that I bought the Ancient Greece book from the same DK series, and so far, it has not disappointed me either. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ancient Rome: The Definitive Visual History (DK Definitive Visual Histories) - Ancient Egypt: The Definitive Visual History (DK Classic History) - History of the World Map by Map (DK History Map by Map) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/451927103-ancient-rome-the-definitive-visual-history](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/451927103-ancient-rome-the-definitive-visual-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
