Richard Platt: A Roman Diary. Notes of Ilione from Mitylene

I start a new diary about a new life in the third year of the 221st Olympiad.
The day after tomorrow we sail to Egypt. On the gallery! I have never been outside of Lesvos, our Greek island. Here in Mytilene we live in a big beautiful house. But in Egypt our home will be even bigger. Everything will be different. Let the adventure begin soon...
Do you want to find yourself in ancient Rome, the capital of the great Roman Empire?
Go to a performance at Pompey's Theatre?
See the triumph of Emperor Trajan?
See gladiator fights?
Bathe in the Baths of Nero?
To be in the Senate?
Iliona will tell about everything that a resident of the Eternal City should know!
The world of Ancient Rome was brought to life by artist David Parkins. His detailed illustrations will show the life of the Romans - from slave to emperor - in every detail.

For children of middle school age.
