"Krautheimer's book shows us what history and art history can be
when they are truly combined."
*Speculum*
"It would be difficult to find a word other than masterpiece to
describe this book."
*Church History*
"Everyone should be grateful for this learned and humane work,
which combines a powerful grasp of the principles and minutiae of
the history of Western art with a detailed topographical grasp of
this complex city."
*The New York Review of Books*
"The new edition of the Profile is a welcome return of an
unsurpassed study of a period of Rome's history that is difficult
to tell . . . [It] is difficult to find fault in such an
undertaking or to review its significance when few would dare
attempt the same project today."---C.M. Richardson, The Art Book
