Ancient Rome

Some subjects are too interesting to be left at school!

Carry on your love of history at home with Ancient Rome - an activity-packed exploration of people and places in this early empire.

Divided into sections, the book starts with fast facts on topics including the army, religion, emperors, senators, towns, conquests, and architecture; and the book ends with charts of famous structures in Rome and famous rulers.

Using this information, you can complete the puzzles in the main part of the book, plus there are hands-on activities such as a Roman recipe, making a Roman toga, and playing the Roman game of knucklebones.

Finally, test your new-found knowledge with the quick quizzes (with answers supplied, but no peeking!).

You can keep track of your achievements throughout with a star-chart to fill in every time you finish a page. Note to parents: The Eyewitness Project Book series is devised and written with the expert advice of educational and reading consultants and is designed to appeal to children aged 8 years and up.

First published in 2007-2009, this series has been fully revised and updated for 2020.
