Full of interesting facts about Ancient Rome, this alphabet book is not written for a preschool audience.  Older students, perhaps 4th – 8th grade, who are researching Ancient Rome or are simply interested in the topic, could pick up this book and engage quickly in the fascinating text nestled in a well-illustrated picture book setting.  Full color illustrations with lots of details and expressive characters bring the time period, place and historical figures alive.  Upon finishing the book, one has a pretty detailed picture of life in Ancient Rome.
