{"product_id":"9780711225527-secondhand-roads-to-rome","title":"Roads to Rome","description":"This book is a photographic record of a series of journeys made along five of the ancient Roman roads of Italy - the Via Appia, which extended from Rome to the great port of Brindisi, thus linking the city with the Orient; Via Cassia to Siena; Via Flaminia to Bologna; Via Aurelia to San Remo; Via Aemelia from Parma to Rimini (where it joined the Via Flaminia). These routes offer a natural framework to a record of the varied regions of Italy and how they have evolved over two thousand years - and an insight into the fusion of old and new that gives Italy its distinctive character. The journeys are rich in evocative contrasts, with the most modern expressions of twenty-first-century life played out against ancient backdrops. John Heseltine's romantic black and white photographs will appeal to all lovers of Italy.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48748198887643,"sku":"9780711225527-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c967fa88-94b8-410a-89ff-89a825208a02.jpg?v=1778040053","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780711225527-secondhand-roads-to-rome","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
