Rome: Stories from Ancient Civilisations

Evans' wonderful 'Stories from Ancient Civilisations' series brings together captivating stories from across the ancient world. The stories are simply told, while retaining the flavour of the original myths, and are superbly illustrated by artists specially commissioned to portray key visual features from the culture the story originated in. The stories are set in context by the use of coloured panels throughout the text, highlighting further information about the characters, settings or historical context.
