Sentimental favorite

My father bought this for my siblings and I when we were kids and we LOVED it. It really brought the time period to life and made it real and fascinating. When I visited Rome later as an adult I refered back to images in this book to put the ancient city to life! Now my kids love it as much as I did. Good stuff!

SO INFORMITIVE!

I thought that this book had so much information, it was unbelevable. In school, I am doing a project on Ancient Roman Education, and I got most of my info from this book. It's wonderful!
