The best thing in this book is the richness of illustrations. So one can easily visualize what is told.
The categorization is also unique and very useful. Due this categoorization several information is repeated, but it is not boring. I found it very useful, as it helps you to repeat certain information so that it is easily stored in your mind.
I was so much impressed by this book, I looked for a similar book on Greek history but unfortunately it does not exist.
I recommend this book to everyone who wants to read on roman history but does not like the classical chronological story-telling style. It is really fun!..

I found this at a thrift store for 90 cents! Who would give such a wonderful book away! I've been doing research on Rome for the last 3 months and this book has everything I need! Filled with fabulous facts and pictures...if you love reading about ancient Rome this book is for you!

This is a wonderful overview of the fabulous Romans and their history and life style. Photos are excellent and it reads like a novel. The short vignettes allow one to read and return over and over. I'm glad I own this book.

This book is very informative and interesting. It is perfect for my son (13 years old) to write essays on Roman Empire when he gets into high school or even college.
