Famous Men of Ancient Rome – Lives of Caesar, Nero, Marcus Aurelius and Others

This is one of the most interesting histories ever written with young students in mind — it would make an unbeatable reader during the 6th Grade Roman History block — or for any young person who finds him- or herself longing to learn more about the glory that was Rome.

Its biographical sketches are arranged chronologically from 753 BC, the estimated founding of Rome, to AD 476, the fall of the Western Empire. As the successive movers and shakers of what became the Roman Empire stand shoulder to shoulder, as it were, readers will be able to see how their actions and ideas influenced and Rome and the world beyond.
