The Magnificent Book of Treasures: Ancient Rome

Stella Caldwell

Step back in time 2,000 years to visit the powerful Roman Empire. Every page reveals a fabulous treasure and its unique story-from gladiator battles with lions; chariot races for vast cheering crowds; and mock naval ship battles in flooded auditoriums, to mythical tales of magic and monsters; gods and goddesses for every occasion; and wondrous feasts in fantastical gardens. Learn about Ancient Rome’s fast-food joints, the original multi-tool pocketknife, and how some escaped Pompeii’s legendary volcanic eruption.
