5.0 out of 5 stars A very good introduction to history!, 14 Feb 2007
This book is, contrary to some views, a very good read. It is designed to make learning about the "Rotten" Romans fun, and it achieves this with flying colours.

Meet the infamous rulers and emperors of the time, come face to face with those who "stabbed Casear in the back", and experience a Roman dining party!

Overall, a perfect book to read for children and teenagers alike, combining Terry Deary's perfect humour with facts which will stick with the reader for the rest of their lives!

By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Rotten Romans (Horrible Histories) (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
with a NEW COVER!

'Nasty Nero and the other awful emperors to Brave Boudicca, and the poor old peasants, who tried to send the Romans right back where they came from.......

Want to know:-

what Roman soldiers wore under their kilts?
how Ancient Britons got their hair nice and spikey?
why rich Romans needed a vomitorium?

Read on to find some terrible tactics of the rotten Roman army, clever ideas of the cut-throat Celts, gory games, rotten recipes and loads of frightening facts.
History has never been so horrible!'

A witty, colourful cover opens to 136 pages, split over 10 chapters:-

Terrible timelines
The rotten Roman Army
The cut-throat Celts
The battling Britons
Rotten Roman leaders
Rotten Roman childhood
Rotten Roman fun and games
Rotten Roman food
Rotten Roman religions
Rotten Roman facts

with an introduction and an epilogue.

Written with the typical Deary humour, in a variety of fonts with superb illustrations throughout.
