Facsimile reprint of the second and revised edition first published in Leipzig by Otto Harrassowitz in 1916 (Besterman 1135). The Isle of Capri has had a rich history from the time it first caught the eye of Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus. Its present day success as a tourist destination began with the acknowledgement and enhancement of its ancient monuments. Furchheim describes 1500 titles in the 1916 edition, which is recognized as the best work on the subject.
