Book Description
Through innovations in everything from military tactics to daily life to politics, ancient Rome undoubtedly belongs to that special club of civilizations that have left an irreversible mark on our world. Indeed, the legacy of Rome is so deeply engraved into the foundations of today's Western civilization that we can hardly go through a single week without experiencing that legacy in at least some minor way. The many ways in which Rome has influenced today's world become quite clear once we learn about its history. That history spans over a millennium and tells an incredible story of a country that emerged from a single city to become one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. At its peak, the Roman Empire was home to as many as 70 million people, which constituted around a third of the world's population at that time. The Romans controlled most of the known world and essentially held the entire Mediterranean and far beyond, deep into Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Let Dinobibi take you on a fun journey to learn more about Roman Empire. The Roman tale will teach you not just about a thousand years of European history but also about the world today.

Book Description
" ... Provides a stimulating introduction for readers with little previous knowledge of history. In our increasingly interdependent world, and understanding of other people and their history is becoming vitally important, but many people find it difficult to acquire an overall view of world history because they do not have attractive starting points. This book fills the gap. In short visual chapters, it provides the bare bones of the major developments in the history of the world. The book looks at individual civilisations and vividly describes how people lived, their discoveries and inventions, their conflicts with rival civilisations and their contributions to our own cultural heritage"--About this book.

Book Description
When I first discovered that my 8-year-old kid believed that the adventures of Odysseus were the actual history of ancient Greece, I panicked and bought him a stack of children's history books. I sat by his side as he started reading about the class structure of Athens and the economic underpinnings of the Greek polis. He yawned. He asked for candy... and then for the Disney Channel... Kids like stories. And when it comes to history, they learn from stories, not from dense paragraphs about the phases of the Bronze age, the location of trade routes, or the injustices of the social order here and there. This book follows the old-fashioned, story-based, traditional route of teaching history - through tales of heroes and kings, with no tribute paid to modern economic and social perspectives. Culture is memes. And that means historical figures, and anecdotes about them. To write this book, I went back to Tacitus, Livy, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Valerius Maximus, Josephus, Eusebius, Theodoret, and other ancient sources of biographical anecdotes, and extracted from them the stories that will be most memorable to a modern kid. I retold them without adding any fictional color. I have omitted some things, however. Anything gruesome, off-color, or outside traditional-family-friendly morality is not included. I also wove information about the social order and daily life of Ancient Rome into the stories of the era's most exciting historical figures. The suggested reader age for this book is 8 to 14 years old. This book is richly illustrated with paintings portraying historical figures and everyday life in ancient Rome. Whenever I could, I chose late 19th century and early 20th century realistic art featuring a more accurate representation of the Ancient Roman costume and environment. I also feature beautiful images of the sculpture, artifacts, and architectural monuments of Ancient Rome. Important: I have selected illustrations with absolutely no nudity, so it's safe to take this book to school. Here is a list of the historical figures included in this book: Romulus and Remus, Numa Pompilius, Tarquin the Proud, Cincinnatus, Coriolanus, Cato the Censor, Scipio Africanus, Pompey, Spartacus, Julius Caesar, Cicero, Mark Anthony, Caesar Augustus, Virgil, Caligula, Nero, Seneca, Vespasian, Titus, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, Constantine the Great, Julian the Apostate, Theodosius.
