How Rome Was Founded and Built
Professor Lanciani, director of excavations at Rome, described vast modern improvements since 1870. He cited 121 new streets, 143 miles of drains, and 3,200 additional houses funded by about $140 million for public welfare. Excavations revealed immense earth moved and valuable works of art, including many statues and coins, refuting theories of a newly discovered Etruscan city and clarifying Rome’s origins with Alban and Alba Longa sites.
