Description - Roman Empire by Andrew Haslam
This is an activity-based book that brings Roman civilization to life and shows how the Romans shaped today's world. It is one of a series which adopts an unusual approach to history, and shows how the Romans lived, the different cultures which surrounded them and their religious and cultural beliefs. The text gives answers to why the Roman Empire was so powerful; how the army defended its vast borders; what life was like for a household slave or a gladiator at the Colosseum; why the emperors called themselves "first citizens" and whether they really threw Christians to the lions. Clear, practical instructions are given for model-making which can be constructed by children or together with parents, and suggestions are given for class history projects. The creators of this series are recipients of the 1994 American Institute of Physics Science Writing Award.
