Book Overview
The ancient Romans' road-building technology was so good, some of their roads are still being used! Considered in the context of their other famous construction triumphs--such as the Colosseum and Hadrian's Wall--the Roman roads are just a small piece of their technological stamp on the world. Readers will be fascinated by the many modern innovations the Romans had a hand in developing, including running toilets and the 365-day calendar. As each section focuses on a new topic, such as the Romans' farming technology, sidebars add fun facts and detail to flesh out knowledge readers encounter in the classroom. Present-day photographs of artifacts and existing structures enhance the main historical content while a timeline concisely summarizes the major events of ancient Rome. Readers will be immersed in ancient Roman culture--and want to know even more!
