内容简介：
Here is a spectacular and informative guide to the fascinating story of ancient Rome.
Superb color photographs of Roman armor, tools, jewelry and more give the reader
a unique "eyewitness" insight into the history of the Roman Empire. See the sword
of Tiberius, a gladiator's helmet and shield, the contents of a Roman burial urn, real
food cooked from Roman recipes, marbles Roman children played with, and inside
the colosseum. Learn how the Romans built roads, why the baths were so popular,
how Roman physicians healed the sick, why the army was so efficient, and how
wine was made. Discover how sea battles were staged in the colosseum, what
Roman children learned at school, how Roman society was organized, and much,
much, more.
