Synopsis
An illustrated journey through ancient Rome, aimed at children of eight or more and the family reference market. The book is divided into four main subject areas, each led by an acetate spread that transports the reader into a particular scene and topic. The acetate spreads focus in on a particular story or example, while the follow-up spreads develop the themes, introduced by these acetates, in greater detail. Peel back the layers of a perilous volcano as it creates destruction in Pompeii or see Roman soldiers storming a fort.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-7–This volume in the hybrid series focuses on life in ancient Rome as seen through the eyes of a family of Africans brought to the city as slaves. Most of the book is made up of DK's usual highly informative, well-illustrated factual descriptions. The edges of each spread tell the fictional story of the family in graphic-novel style. The nonfiction is engrossing, pulling readers into aspects of everyday life, with great cutaways of a variety of buildings and events. The story of a family torn apart, brought back together, and saved at the last moment is fairly unrealistic and unsatisfying compared to the great facts in the book. Readers seeking a graphic novel will be disappointed by the small part this format plays in the book. While overall it is an interesting combination that should appeal to reluctant readers, this title lacks the depth that most students will need for research purposes.–Dawn Rutherford, Kings County Library System, Bellevue, WA
