Synopsis

Kingfisher Knowledge is a groundbreaking series for readers hungry for information on today's hot topics. Lively, engaging text, packed with information, accompanies stunning photographs that enhance each chapter. Amazing, state-of-the-art digital artwork guides readers into the fascinating heart of the subject. This learning adventure does not stop there - information panels throughout lead the reader to further discovery. Each chapter offers website links, book lists, places to visit and career information. Life in Ancient Rome transports the reader on an amazing journey through the world built and run by the Romans, from its legendary origins and the growth of the republic to the height of empire, and from the human details of everyday life in Rome to the violent spectacles of battles and gladiatorial combat. Organized historically, it gives a clear sense of the major developments in this long and changing period, and is full of dynamic stories of interesting characters, important battles and great events. It also sheds new and intriguing light on familiar themes of life in Rome: roads and baths, luxurious living and slavery, the Forum and temples, and much more. The final chapter charts the decline of the Roman empire and looks at its far-reaching legacy.
