"Well written and informative text, enlivened by monochrome illustrations, introducing the young reader (aged 8-9) to ancient Roman society . clearly set out and well-pitched with technical terms kept to a minimum, and the maps are uncluttered and easily comprehensible. It's a really informative read." - The English Association "A masterclass in bringing the past into the present and getting children buzzing about history . the knowledge-rich feast offers a brilliant historical overview of a fascinating period . I hope for more in this series and after exploring Romans and Vikings I am excited to see where they go next. Could it be The Mayans, The Aztecs, The Egyptians or The Greeks?" - A Word About Books, blog "Here is a concise but highly informative and entertaining title that gives young readers a brilliant overview of the history of the Roman Empire in an accessible read perfect for KS2 readers." - Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library.
