About the book >.>.> Though the well-known anagram “ROMA-AMOR” has been chosen as the title of this volume it is not our intention to present the reader with an account of the seamy side of “the grandeur that was Rome”; this is not meant to be a historical study. Nor is it our aim in these few pages to cover exhaustively the subject of “sex-life in Rome” many aspects of which will remain outside the scope of this publication. Our aim is to try to interpret-or rather to foster an understanding of certain Etruscan and Roman paintings and sculptures which Dr. Louis Nagel has had photographed and reproduced in their entirety in many cases for the first time.
