What does "Mirabilia Urbis" mean??

Guidebooks are nothing new. Around 1000 A.D., pilgrims, travelers and merchants coming to Rome were already using several different guidebooks (such as the illustration to the right) to find and enjoy the Eternal City's treasures. Mirabilia Urbis was just one of many titles that were circulating back then. The author of its contents, which are in Latin, remains anonymous. Its title, Mirabilia Urbis, means "The Marvels of the City" -- "the City" is Rome, of course!

Mirabilia Urbis Walking Tours welcomes you to Rome and explains the sights you want to see going back to the source, that is: using Latin texts taken from all genres and periods. After all, the best explanation of "the City's" monuments and history is going to come from the biographers, poets, historians and everyday people who used to live here.
