Summary
"Marvel at the intricate mosaics, splendid treasures, and ingenious inventions of Ancient Rome and learn the stories they tell about one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known. 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
