Here is an intimate tribute to the vibrant character and style of one of the world's most spectacular cities. In 1995, after a twenty-year love affair with Italy, Alan Epstein fulfilled his dream to live in Rome with his wife and two sons. In As the Romans Do, he celebrates daily life in his dramatic, ancient city that formed the hub of a far-flung empire and introduced Mediterranean culture to the rest of the world.
