In the Daily Life of the Ancient Romans by Peter Hicks
Why was Jupiter the most important Roman god? Why was Minerva the goddess of arts and crafts? Who was the god of health and medicine? From country sports and war to commerce and travel, every aspect of Ancient Rome is explored by looking at the traditions and religious beliefs of the society. The book reveals how such beliefs were an integral part of life and how they affected everything that was done. It is complete with photos, illustrations, glossary and an index.
'..a fascinating and well illustrated series...' -- BBC History 20030203 'In this carefully illustrated work, suitable for older primary school children in particular, the relevance of the different gods, for war, hunting, seafaring and other aspects of Roman life is explained.' -- School Library Journal, Vol.51, No.2, Summer 2003 20030203
Peter Hicks teaches history and archaeology and has a special enthusiasm for 'digging up the past'. He has wide experience of writing about history for children.
