At the peak of its power, the Roman Empire stretched thousands of miles in all directions: north to what today is England, westward to Spain, to Armenia in the east, and Egypt in the south. The growth, development, and cultural achievements of that magnificent civilization are brought to life by the artist John Green in this exciting and fact-filled coloring book.
Focusing on a 200-year period in Roman history (100 B.C.–A. D. 100), 41 finely detailed illustrations depict such events as the defeat of Germanic invaders under the leadership of Marius (c. 108 B.C.); the crushing of a slave revolt (71 B.C.); the assassination of Julius Caesar (44 B.C.); and the emperor Nero playing a stringed instrument while Rome burns (A.D. 64). Also included are handsome views of the Colosseum, a Roman villa and banquet, artists at work, and much more. In addition, William Kaufman’s clearly written introduction and text provide a wealth of information on Roman religion, society, cultural life, major landmarks, leaders, and daily activities. Fascinating and thoroughly researched,
Life in Ancient Rome
will appeal not only to coloring book fans of all ages but also will serve as a valuable resource and learning aid for students and history buffs alike.

Description
Publisher's Description of Life in Ancient Rome Coloring Book
Category Description for Life in ______ Coloring Books
If your children like to color, why not capitalize on their interest by supplying them with a study of an ancient civilization at the same time? While nowhere near a complete study, the accompanying text is interesting and informative. As with the Field Guide Coloring Books, coloring these scenes while studying is probably a good way to fix a picture in the mind's eye and help you to retain images of that civilization.
Personally, I favor the idea of actually "being there" via period costumes, customs, festivals, and other props to re-enact life in these periods. However, I don't have the time (or remaining energy) to do all this. But I can sit down and color with my kids while we talk about the past. No preparation, no planning, no time demands. It may not be "the best" way to relive the past, but it's an enjoyable alternative that fits with my time (and energy) limitations!
