British Museum:Kid Life in Ancient Rome Paperback

British Museum: Kid Life in Ancient Rome, often titled "So You Think You've Got It Bad? A Kid's Life in Ancient Rome" by Chae Strathie and illustrated by Marisa Morea, offers a hilariously engaging and fact-packed look into the daily lives of children in ancient Rome. Developed in consultation with British Museum experts, this book uses witty text and humorous illustrations to compare modern childhood experiences with the often-surprising realities of Roman kids. From bathing in public baths (often with urine for laundry!) and snacking on dormice, to rigorous schooling and even the possibility of fighting as gladiators, it uncovers the tough, bizarre, and often amusing aspects of life for young Romans, making history accessible and entertaining for curious young readers.
