Roman tells us a lot about Ancients word. Like how they live? What work they do? Its great that how they use to be a great empire!!

A nice, informative non-fiction book all about Ancient Rome. Each double-page spread has a range of questions answered which children may have such as 'Who did Romans worship?' and 'Did all Romans live in Rome?'. The pages are a mixture of illustrations and short but descriptive answers which makes the book engaging to read. Children could open the book at any page and find answers to their questions without having to read the whole book. A great book for research purposes or for reading for pleasure in KS2.
