This is a reasonably good classroom resource. It's a little dull, but the illustrations and information are fairly good.

it was okay, i didn't find it as interesting as the ancient rome one and found myself skipping a few pages here and there. a lot of history i didn't know yet it felt a little lackluster.

After taking 2 years of Latin in high school, I became intrigued with the ancient Roman & Greek worlds. I picked up this book just to refocus on that time period again. Most interesting to me was reading about how their battles were fought, the way they took on slaves, and the everyday lives of citizens back then. Not really a book you read cover to cover. I found various topics and read these.
