The Romans (Digging Deeper into the Past) - Softcover
Each double-page spread in this book looks at an important part of Roman culture and illustrates some of the significant evidence - archaeology, artefacts, arts and written sources - that enables us to reconstruct and understand their buildings, technology, jewellery and daily routine. Readers can see mosaics and models of chariot-racing and the remains of a beautiful villa, and visit the world of priests and priestesses as they sacrifice animals on the altar of Vulcan.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-5. Entertaining and attractive, these overviews of the everyday lives of ancient Romans and Vikings discuss aspects of these cultures and how this knowledge was pieced together. Each topic is treated in a double-page spread. Colorful illustrations, full-color reproductions, and succinct, well-written texts provide basic facts. Also examined are artifacts; scientific tools and methods used by archaeologists; backgrounds on specific digs or sites; and the importance of written sources?journals, military records, church records, etc.?that were used to reconstruct how these people lived. Much of the information is available in other sources, but the added emphasis on the contributions of archaeology offers a different slant. Hazel Martell's Everyday Life in Viking Times (1994) and Mike Corbishley's Everyday Life in Roman Times (1994, both Watts) cover similar ground and include some of the archaeological background. Martell's The Vikings and Jorvik (Dillon, 1993) concentrates on one archaeological site and what it contributed to the knowledge of Viking life.?Cynthia M. Sturgis, Ledding Library, Milwaukee, OR
