A charming glimpse of ancient Rome!
11 Jan 2003
Format:Hardcover
Marissa Moss's book, written as if by a 12-year-old slave in the court of Augustus, is full of fascinating and accurate facts. The illustrations in particular are charming and very useful in painting a picture of daily life in 1st century Rome.
This book would be a great resource for any class studying the ancient Romans. It would also be a useful complement to my own series of children's historical novels (The Roman Mysteries) set in a slightly later period. A big thumbs-up!

A Happy Find
10 Nov 2005
Format:Hardcover
This beautifully done little book is a happy find indeed for youngsters studying Rome. There's a wealth of factual information about Imperial Rome here, presented in a most engaging way. We couldn't put it down! Nice Bonus: Inside the back cover you will find the clearest, simplest, most concise explanation of Roman numerals I've ever run across.

A word of caution.
13 April 2011
Format:Hardcover
This book is a suggested supplement by the homeschooling curriculum that I use; I make it a habit to preview books before passing them along to my kids to read and I'm glad I did with this one. Just as a word of caution, three quarters through the book the following line appears, "I bit my lip. I needed some excuse to get up. 'Then may I go, er, well, to take a piss, sir?' I asked". This book could be read aloud and the previous line be omitted, however I chose not to use the book at all, there are other choices.
