Ancient Rome

by Paul C. Roberts, Paul C. Roberts (Editor)

Why did people go to the forum? Why did the emperor Hadrian have a wall built in Britain? Who gave an eyewitness account of the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii? Who was the Roman god of exits and entrances?

Ancient Rome is a dynamic reference book for children. Detailed, atmospheric illustrations, revealing photographs and lively descriptions engage and encourage readers to discover for themselves a part of the world's exciting history. Every page is designed to capture the imagination and stimulate curiosity. A dramatic four-page foldout and vivid drawings take young readers into the heart of the topic.
