Ancient Romans

An entertaining, fact-filled look at history. Dynamic layouts, accessible writing style and contemporary approach bring history to life.

Gossip, scandal, badly behaved rulers - if you thought that celebrity culture was a symptom of the 21st century, think again. This is an irreverent but fact-packed look at one of the most fascinating periods in history, with a colourful cast of celebrity characters and a keen awareness of what was 'on trend' and what was not, in how people dressed, what they ate and where they lived.
