This book is all about Romans. Not the things about Romans you study at school. This book is all about the rotten, disgusting things the Romans did. Rotten Romans is great for people who want to know not only the good deeds but also the terrifying truths about the Romans (Suitable for older kids who can understand history).

The Romans were usually at war, trying to conquer new lands. This is why the Roman Empire stood over most of Europe. After reading the book, I figured that very few emperors bothered to support the land that had been conquered earlier. Did you know that the Romans didn’t always practice monarchy? They were democratic at some point in time.

Terry Deary includes all you ever wanted to know about the Romans and much more in this book. It turns out that he used to hate history as a kid. Now, look at what he has written! He has written many more books, almost all of them are histories! Read one, and you’ll automatically read the others!
