Why were the Romans such brilliant innovators, responsible for inventions including newspapers, concrete, surgeon’s tools and even an efficient postal system? What made their army invincible and their buildings so remarkable? And why, eventually, did the whole empire come crashing down?David Long explains what life was actually like for ordinary Romans as well as their famous emperors, while also looking at the lingering influence of Roman civilisation throughout the world.

Recensioner i media

"Well written and informative text, enlivened by monochrome illustrations, introducing the young reader (aged 8-9) to ancient Roman society … clearly set out and well-pitched with technical terms kept to a minimum, and the maps are uncluttered and easily comprehensible. It’s a really informative read." – The English Association
