It's your LUCKY day! You've stumbled across an ancient treasure chest in your garden that was buried THOUSANDS of years ago by a child living in ancient Rome. And the chest is packed with 20 strange and curious items that tell us so much about their life, such as:
- Armour made of REAL crocodile skin
- Twinkling TREASURE said to protect its wearer from evil
- A fun game made of a PIG'S KNUCKLE
- Evidence of the world's first PIZZA!
Unpack the treasure chest and discover the objects that a child just like YOU was using thousands of years ago. You'll uncover fascinating facts and true tales about their school, family life, clothes, games, favourite snacks and so much more.
The true, real-life experiences of children in ancient times is a part of history that has been neglected for far too long – award-winning historian, broadcaster and bestselling author Bettany Hughes is here to dig up this newly discovered information for young budding historians everywhere.
