Captivating History Ancient Rome for Kids: A Guide to Roman from the Rise of the Republic through the Roman Empire to Byzantium (History for Children)

Good for kids that are interested in history

This was a Christmas gift for our ten year old — and he loves it! Age appropriate.

Important information but dense and difficult to read because of print size

Cataloging the false statements would take too much time. Some easy examples show the way. “When Octavian became the emperor; he changed his name to Augustus.” (Page 30). Not true, The Senate proclaimed him Augustus. He so did not change his name. “They called themselves the Second Triumvirate,” (Page 31) Not true. The term Second Triumvirate was coined after the Renaissance. This book is not good for smart kids who want to learn history.
