Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
If you are planning to visit ancient Rome, you might want to take along the ultimate guide...in the time of Hadrian. As part of the "Sightseers" series of travel guides, even an arm chair tourist will be able to visit such sights as the Colosseum to place a bet on your favorite gladiator or join 250,000 people at the Circus Maximus to watch the chariots race. You will not have any trouble getting to Rome as the thousands of miles of roads are among the finest ever built, but the thousands of winding streets in the city itself have no names or numbers! If you are wealthy, a vast array of exotic dishes such as ostrich and flamingo await you. If you then need a cure for indigestion try raw cabbage soaked in vinegar. Loaded with interesting and unusual facts, this guide is a delightful way to learn about history. Photographs and color paintings give additional details, an index aids research; and a foldout map is included. All in all, a handy reference for a social studies program. 2000, Kingfisher, Ages 8 to 12, $8.95. Reviewer: Laura Hummel—Children's Literature
School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-Like any handbook for tourists, this travel guide to an ancient world includes essential information on accommodations, shopping, key sites, etc. Sidebars describe local customs and offer safety guidelines for sightseers. Even a foldout tour map of the city is included. A concluding "Survival guide" warns readers/tourists about Roman views on law enforcement and how to stay out of trouble. Lots of full-color illustrations and photographs of artifacts combined with a breezy, amusing text result in a delightful, tongue-in-cheek, but informative overview of Roman culture and life. Look to Mike Corbishley's Ancient Rome (Facts On File, 1989) for a meatier, more straightforward source.-Cynthia M. Sturgis, Ledding Library, Milwaukee, OR Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
