Customer Reviews

Roman News!

I liked this book and think kids will have fun with it. It contains very good information, much of it I didn't know and tells it in a fun way. It makes Roman History come alive and not be so distant.

The Roman Inquirer

This book imitates the typical newspaper format. An index indicates the various events that were pivotal for the development of Roman culture and government. The events portion is set up chronologically, but the other sections cover societal topics such as sports, political life, women's pages, food pages. The graphics are colorful and include illustrations, charts, and maps in imitation of modern newspapers and magazines. It was interesting to us and it is our belief that the similarity to modern print media will intrigue students.
