Product Description
The ancient Romans are known for building the Colosseum, but did you also know that they used oil instead of soap to clean their skin? They also watched chariot races in a stadium called the Circus Maximus, and at feasts, wealthy Romans lay on couches to eat? Find out more about what life was like in the city of Rome during the Roman Empire. In this book, you'll learn about people's daily activities, religion, buildings, inventions, and leaders. Photographs and vivid comic-style illustrations help bring this culture to life!
