How Would You Survive as an Ancient Roman?

There are quite a few books aimed at young adults that take a look at the Roman Empire. This one is superior because it strikes a remarkable balance between interesting trivia, illustrations and text. Let's take one set of pages entitled "Sickness and Health". There is a drawing of an elaborate Roman bath. There is also a close-up of a very public Roman latrine, a series of illustrations that shows how your toga would get cleaned at the bath, an illustration of the tools of the bath, medical good luck amulets, a paragraph about Roman medicine (such as it was), a cartoon strip about a visit to the doctor and a cartoon strip that shows a typical visit to the bath. Jammed full, but still kept light and interesting.
