Well-told History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book describes the lives of historic Roman figures in an interesting fashion - drawing you into the history and time of ancient Rome. I also purchased their book on Ancient Greeks. The writing is exceptional and the books are full of information. I purchased these for my children, but instead have been reading them myself.
Worth Every Penny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This magnum opus is expensive, but deservedly so. An enormous amount of research and knowledge has gone into creating a hugely useful book. The Contents alone covers Rome and her great leaders from 369 B.C. to A.D. 410. Then there are the four Appendices; Glossary, Further Reading; and two Indices, plus maps and plenty of artwork! The Bakers' writing style is elegant yet accessible, appropriate for older students through adult.
