Ancient Rome for Kids through the Lives of its Heroes, Emperors, and Philosophers (History for Kids - Traditional, Story-Based Format)

This book follows the old- fashioned, story-based, traditional route of teaching history - through tales of heroes and kings, with no tribute paid to modern economic and social perspectives.

Culture is memes.

And that means historical figures, and anecdotes about them.

To write this book, I went back to Tacitus, Livy, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Valerius Maximus, Josephus, Eusebius, Theodoret, and other ancient sources of biographical anecdotes, and extracted from them the stories that will be most memorable to a modern kid.

I retold them without adding any fictional color.

I have omitted some things, however.

Anything gruesome, off-color, or outside traditional- family-friendly morality is not included.
