Romans: 60 Interesting & Fun Facts

About This Book

Did the Romans have fast food? Why was a trip to the public toilet a social event? What did thumbs up mean in the arena?

Romans: 60 Interesting and Fun Facts brings ancient Rome to life: busy streets and wobbly apartment blocks, legions marching in the tortoise formation, Jupiter, Mars and Romulus and Remus, gladiators and chariot races at the Colosseum, Roman concrete, roads and the first newspaper, and family life from breakfast to bedtime.

Every fact gets its own two-page spread: something short and surprising to read on the left, and a full-page picture to color on the right.

Inside this book:

• 60 Roman facts written in kid-friendly language
• 60 full-page coloring pages
• A "Wow Factor" bonus fact on every spread
• A hands-on "Try This" activity for every fact
• Six themed sections: city life, the Roman army, gods and legends, the arena and games, Roman inventions, and home and family

Made for young history fans ages 6 to 12. A screen-free gift for birthdays, holidays and school projects.
