Product details

Product Description
Book Description
Terry Deary and Martin Brown’s brilliant books about the nastiest periods in history have now – with the help of some astounding actors – been transformed into a series of audio extravaganzas. Featuring new, extra material not found anywhere in the books, these sound spectaculars are just as thrilling and spilling, funny and fast as their printed counterparts. Horrible Histories are guaranteed to bring you history with the nasty bits left in!

The Rotten Romans features beastly battles, deadly doctoring and marvellous myths – and you can even find out how to tell the future using a dead chicken! It’s packed with quizzes, sketches, music and jokes, as well as mini-dramas and real life re-enactments – telling you the kind of foul facts which just aren’t available from a classroom education!

2003 is the 10th Anniversary of the publication of Horrible Histories. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis
Follows life for folks in Roman Britain from Nero to Boudicca and includes a look at gory games, rotten recipes, and loads of frightening facts.

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Rotten Romans follows life for folks in Roman Britain from.......', 20 Mar 2007
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 128 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 and illustrations from Martin Brown throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very funny book., 15 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I think that the Rotten Romans is an excellent book because it gives you information about the Romans in a very funny way. It also tells you facts that other books do not tell you. There are loads of quizzes to challenge your teachers and parents with.
