This is one of two new titles from the acclaimed master of recreating the ancient world. Peter Connolly's superb illustrations bring to life the world of ancient Rome, giving children aged 8+ a real sense of what it was like to live there. We visit the baths and the laundry, watch chariot races at the Circus Maximus and gladiator fights at the Colosseum, and discover a wealth of fascinating details of everyday life. It is perfect to support homework. Peter Connolly is a best-selling author and illustrator of the ancient world.
