A Scottish minister and naturalist gathers studies of Rome and its neighbourhood, each a separate piece in the mosaic. He walks to church in Rome, travels the Appian Way, visits the cave of the Cumaean Sibyl, the Forum and the Egyptian obelisks, the painted tomb at Veii, St. Onofrio where Tasso died, and reflects on the history and natural life that each reveals.
