Ancient history as seen through the eyes of children. All of the stories in this book are set in the Sicilian city of Syracuse, ranging from the era of Greek influence to the rise of the Rome and the coming of Christianity, from c. 500 BC to 330 AD.

This is the first of three books designed to introduce the sweep of European history and the rise and fall of civilizations through the eyes of children in Syracuse.
