The book is an excursus on the engineering works (roads, aqueducts, baths) of the ancient Romans who aimed to transform a series of small villages perched on the seven hills into a politically, economically, and socially efficient community in such a way as to become the largest Empire in history. Works that have stood the test of time and that have taught us how to build our cities and plan our environment.
