For thousands of years, the Roman Colosseum has been a source of entertainment and awe. Ancient Romans flocked to the amphitheater to see gladiatorial fights, exotic animals, and even naval battles. Although it fell into disuse, today people from around the world come to Rome to see this amazing historic structure in person. The colorful and in-depth photographs take readers around and inside the Colosseum, and illustrations and charts help readers make the most of their reading experience.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-5-A combination of outstanding illustrative material and engaging writing gives emerging readers an appealing introduction to some of the world's most important historical landmarks and the cultures that produced them. The facts help describe interesting or unique aspects of the ancient culture, the construction or purpose of the landmark, or its broader significance. Large color photos, archival illustrations, maps, diagrams, and cutaway drawings will help readers understand the enormous scope of the projects and the innovation and effort necessary for construction. Informative captions augment the main text of each page. By the time readers finish the lively and truly "fun facts" in these books, they will know much more about these fabulous places and how and why they were built. Excellent choices for all elementary libraries. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
