Historia
Any travel guide to Rome will urge visitors to go the Colosseum, but none answers a simple question: Why is it called the Colosseum? The History of Rome in 12 Buildings: A Travel Companion to the Hidden Secrets of the Eternal City is compelling, concise, and fun, and takes you behind the iconic buildings to reveal the hidden stories of the people that forged the Roman Empire.

An overall interesting idea to give a glimpse of Rome's history by visiting specific, historic sites. However, the wisdom of the sites selected is uneven, though it is understandable that finding the best twelve sites to represent the sweeping scope of Rome's history would be daunting. My main gripe, and admittedly it is a quibble, is the narrator's severely untutored pronunciation of certain Italian words, the most shocking being 'Spagna', which was pronounced with a hard 'g' like 'sphagnum moss'. Though a minor detail, it unfortunately caused me to question the actual content of the book if the author and narration editors would allow such a mistake to pass through.
Still, the book is instructive and helpful.
