"An eye-opening guide to just how amazing the Romans were"
Interest Age 9+ Reading Age 8
The Romans left us an astonishing legacy, from our architecture to the names of the planets, from legal systems to rabbits (did you know that the millions of rabbits living in the UK today are all descended from a few animals brought here by the Romans?).
David Long is clear that the Romans were amazing and his book will certainly convince readers of that. It explains how they lived, fought, entertained themselves; there are chapters on the Romans’ religious beliefs and on their rulers, and it tells us too how their empire finally fell apart.
Following What It Was Like to be a Viking, it’s another fascinating read, concise but wide-ranging. With maps and lots of illustrations it is as inspiring as it is informative, and in Barrington Stoke’s trademark dyslexia friendly format, accessible to all readers.
Who were the Romans and how did this small tribe come to dominate Italy before establishing the largest empire the world has ever seen? Why were the Romans such brilliant innovators, responsible for inventions including newspapers, concrete, surgeon's tools and even an efficient postal system? What made their army invincible and their buildings so remarkable? And why, eventually, did the whole empire come crashing down?
