Synopsis

NABE Fall 2012 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award: Best Book in the Category of Education

For Ages 8 and up

This highly engaging book includes detailed instructions for making eight different models of inventions from the time of the Roman Empire out of materials commonly found around home or school.

It incorporates basic physics lessons relevant to each model that have been specifically adapted from the “Primary Physics” First Science Series. Fun, imaginative, historical, scientific and hands-on, this book is probably the best one of the series so far!

As companion to the Niccolai Teknoart SNC (Firenze) Roman Machines Exhibition, this book includes photographs of the scaled replicas of the machines used by soldiers of ancient Rome.
