PRACTICALIA:
If you are keen to walk (!) Rome's Latin epigraphy, you may want to get hold of Tylor Lansford's Walking Guide to the Latin Inscriptions of Rome before your arrival!
And for those not familiar with Rome and looking for a hotel or hostel, the easiest way to compare prices and locations is via the map views available on booking.com, trivago.co.uk, expedia.co.uk and similar sites. There are still plenty of reasonably priced accommodation options around Termini and elsewhere in the city centre! Staying a bit further out and using the metro to come into the city centre is another option. But please note that the BES cannot take responsibility for the suitability or quality of any of the listed establishments on any of the sites!
And on Sunday 6 May, it is expected that museums in Rome open their doors free of charge - more info to follow in due course!
