Synopsis

In this book, you will travel back to Ancient Rome, where gladiators fought in the famous Colleseum, emperors were murdered to make way for new emperors, calendars were created, and Greek mythology was re-made into Roman mythology! Have fun seeing what’s left of this amazing society as you explore ancient ruins and war maps! Test your knowledge with end-of-chapter activities, and watch history come alive as you learn of the fascinating Roman Empire! We owe a lot to Ancient Rome, and you’ll learn what we abolished – and what we kept from this exciting time in history.

If you’ve ever seen a movie with gladiators or heard of Julius Caesar, you already know something about the Roman Empire. But did you know that Caesar helped create the calendar that our calendar is based on? Did you know that emperors had other emperors killed and sometimes even murdered their own families? You’ll learn this – and more – as you turn the pages in this wonderful account of Ancient Rome. Keep reading to learn about:

• How elephants helped win an important battle
• The island that two cities fought for
• How we use the same type of government used back then
• Plebians and Patricians – which would you want to be? Why?
• How did a great talker become so important?
• Why a city started another war with the city it had just beaten!
• When the Romans met the Greeks
• Everyone was a citizen, except for . . . can you guess?
• Brutus, Cassius, and MURDER
• Changing your name – everyone did it!
• This Cleopatra – or THAT Cleopatra?
• The Julio-Claudian Dynasty & the Five Emperors
• And so much more!
