From Kirkus Reviews:
This entry in the Biographical History series covers aspects of the beginning and end of the Roman Empire, along with information about daily life when it was at its height. Every two-page spread covers one topic, with a few paragraphs of information, sidebars of primary source material, and a box containing a biography of a related figure. Whittock's excellent introduction is blessed with an intelligent design and layout, and, unlike other books on the subject, has two unusual points to recommend it. First, it takes a thoughtful approach to sources: The first section is an extended explanation of archeological and primary and secondary literary sources. Every section thereafter not only includes photos of and quotes from these sources, along with information about them, but often points out when they are in conflict. Second, the brief biographies give tantalizing glimpses of a large variety of important people. A great start on a complex subject.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6?Crusades provides a clear description of the battles and events that occurred during that time period. In Roman Empire, chapters on its rise and on living in the Republic will be useful for reports. Short biographical sketches are included, as are chapters on emperors and barbarians. Both books give explanations and excerpts from primary and secondary sources in sidebars. While the information will be useful to students, the crowded arrangement of the text can be distracting. Both titles include extensive indexes, full-color photographs and reproductions, and quality maps. Important terms appear in bold with clear, concise definitions. Similar in scope to entries in the "World History" series (Lucent), but more attractive.?Ann M. Burlingame, North Regional Library, Raleigh, NC
