Ancient Rome (History in Art)

An illustrated journey through ancient Rome, aimed at children of eight or more and the family reference market. The book is divided into four main subject areas, each led by an acetate spread that transports the reader into a particular scene and topic. The acetate spreads focus in on a particular story or example, while the follow-up spreads develop the themes, introduced by these acetates, in greater detail. Peel back the layers of a perilous volcano as it creates destruction in Pompeii or see Roman soldiers storming a fort.
