Step into the world of ancient Rome, where the strength of the Republic and the dignity of the home shape the lives of its children. Through a series of beautifully woven stories, young readers meet boys and girls who learn courage, diligence, and reverence as they take their place within a rich and ordered world. Whether witnessing the engineering marvels of the great aqueducts, celebrating the ancient festivals of the gods, or learning the sacred laws of the Forum, each child discovers the meaning of responsibility and the quiet strength found in faithful work. Louise Lamprey blends historical accuracy with gentle storytelling to illuminate a civilization devoted to order, duty, and the steady pursuit of harmony. Children of Ancient Rome invites readers to walk beside these children of the Tiber-growing in wisdom as they encounter the challenges and enduring values of a remarkable ancient culture.
