Summary: Excellent pictures and cutaways
Comment: This small but colorful book is part of the See Inside series, which gives the young reader a look into life in a different time, through the use of colorful illustrations and cutaway peeks behind the scenes. This particular book looks at life in an average (and unspecified) Classical Roman town, showing how the town was laid out, how its houses and important public building were build, and how its people lived and worked. The final section of the book is an interesting two-page chronology that gives some highlights of world history from 753 B.C. to 476 A.D.

As might be expected with a book published in 1986, some of the information in this book has perhaps been superseded by later findings. But, I do think that, in general this book does give a good view of life in a Classical Roman town. Plus, I really enjoyed the excellent pictures and cutaways, which gave me a good understanding of what things actually looked like back then. If you, or your young reader, are interested in what the world of Classical Rome really looked like, and what their homes looked like, then I highly recommend this book to you.
