An enormous amount of information about the ancient world is conveyed under the guise of a jolly good romp―Fiona Lafferty an interesting and exciting read that is extremely well researched. It is packed with accurate detail of everyday Roman life. The story is so well paced and involving that you don't realise just how much information you are absorbing.―School Librarian
