Great Rulers of Ancient Rome

978-9-62634-267-9.
COPY ISBN
Gr 4—7—The colorful personalities of the rulers of the Roman Empire from Julius Caesar to Constantine as well as the events associated with them and their enduring legacies are presented in Hugh Griffith's enjoyable, conversation-like text that features stories, personal accounts, and everyday examples. There's just enough gore to hold the attention of students. Narrator Benjamin Soames's British accent lends a sense of authority, but his pronunciation of some names might be confusing. Classical music is played between chapters. The information booklet includes a map, a time line, an introduction, and list of common Latin phrases to help listeners better understand their meaning. An additional purchase for non-fiction audio collections.—Courtney O'Keefe, Des Plaines Public Library, IL
