Viktor Sonkin is a philologist, specialist in Western European and Slavic literatures, journalist, simultaneous interpreter, and teacher. He is also one of the directors of the Borisenko-Sonkin Seminar (Moscow State University), whose participants produced the detective story anthologies "Not Only Holmes" and "Just Not the Butler." This book arose from the intersection of the author's two main passions—classicism and travel. It can be read as a guidebook or as a story about one of the most important places on earth. The author sought to follow in the footsteps of enlightened dilettantes in love with the Eternal City—Goethe, Byron, Gogol, Dickens, Mark Twain, Pavel Muratov, and Pyotr Vail. The capital of the all-powerful popes, the pearl of the Renaissance and Baroque, the city of Michelangelo and Bernini will shine through almost every page, but the main content of the book "Rome Was Here" is a story about ancient times, about the city of Romulus, Caesar and Nero.
