Plan of ancient Rome
Item Information
- Title:
- Plan of ancient Rome
- Description:
-
Shakespeare's Here and Everywhere: With the deaths of Antony and Cleopatra, Rome was no longer threatened by a foreign power – namely, Egypt. The character of Cleopatra personified the "otherness" that Shakespeare incorporated in his dramas – she was a woman, she was from a distant land, and she was extremely powerful – all qualities that stirred both attraction and fear in the people she encountered. This early-19th century map illustrates ancient Rome, where numerous scenes from Antony and Cleopatra unfolded, and includes depictions of the monuments to be found throughout the city.
