Adventures of Yesterday for Today’s Readers
History isn’t just what you learn in school.
It’s also – and above all – the thrilling, surprising, sometimes frightening, yet always real story of humankind.
A book series that brings key moments in history to life, drawing today’s readers right into the action.
Gladiators in Ancient Rome is a thrilling plunge into the arena of ancient Rome to discover the lives – often brutal, always fascinating – of the gladiators. From training and fighting techniques to spectacular battles, this volume tells the story of men (and the occasional woman) who faced death to entertain the crowds and earn glory. Enriched with illustrations, fun facts and real-life anecdotes, the book gives young readers (and curious minds of all ages) a vivid and engaging look into one of the most iconic aspects of Roman history.
- Incredible true stories from ancient times to the modern day.
