Ancient Rome

Young students can join a parade of history and march into the world of enlightenment, regulation, and engineering that was ancient Rome. Readers learn everything about the ancient Roman way of life, from politics to paths, wisdom to waterworks.  Students can meet the great Roman emperors, explore the empire’s engineering marvels, examine popular forms of entertainment (are they so different from today?), and more.  Along with discovering the amazing achievements of the Roman Empire, the authors encourage youngsters to discuss the events and attitude that led to its downfall and compare ancient history with modern times.
