Witty illustrations complement the informative text, creating a friendly and accessible introduction to Roman history to use at home and in school.
A great introduction to the dynamics of the Roman ArmyMilitary manuals are known to have been used by the Roman Army, and this book provides an educational but entertaining way of putting ancient history into modern hands. The tone of the handbook is informal, which is far more appealing to students than a dry textbook. The language used promotes interactivity, and addresses the reader directly. There are also mini quizzes throughout the book. * Heritage Key website *

It’s good for kids because the diagrams and pictures are cartoony. I’d recommend it to my teacher and kids of 7 and up. I’d give it VIII out of X! * Reader Review, British Museum Remus Magazine *
