Dear Roman Readers,
For Wednesday, March 9, please do the following:
(1) Download, read, and print Amanda Claridge's short and sweet treatment of the basilica from classical to Christian Rome. (Note: Claridge's archaeological guide to Rome will be an essential source for most of the site reports in Writing Rome.)
(2) Download, read, and print the two letters by St. Jerome, which also double as a fact sheet. We'll talk more on Wednesday about Jerome's incalculable contributions to Western civilization; but for now let's place him on the same shelf as Tertullian and St. Augustine, who also wrestled with being Roman Christians.
