«In cartoon panels, the inimitable Williams offers snapshots of ancient Rome from the mythological creation of the universe to the fall of the empire.»
Kirkus Reviews
«These busy cartoons range from minuscule to full-page and always invite close inspection. Crammed within, readers will find miniature charts, tiny maps, overhead diagrams of outdoor areas, lessons on daily life, and plenty of modern snark. It’s an usual conceit pulled off quite well - by employing Dormeo as a humorous narrator, Williams is able to present atrocities imposed upon the lower classes of Roman people without overwhelming readers. Lots and lots of information here; prepare for this book to be renewed at least once.»
Booklist
«A splendid big book, with bright and funny illustrations and packed with information»
Carousel
«Perfect for KS2 children studying Ancient Rome, this will give a fascinating insight into the period in an eminently readable and enjoyable format. The cartoon-style illustrations march through the pages bringing the Romans to life and giving a new perspective»
