| Abstract | "This book explores the creative efforts of some of Rome's most prominent noble families to weave themselves into Rome's Christian past. Maya Maskarinec shows how, from Late Antiquity to early modernity, elite Roman families used genealogy, architecture, and the urban fabric to appropriate the city's saints for their own, eventually claiming them as ancestors"-- Provided by publisher. |
