ABSTRACT
One problem in teaching the Roman history is that the scope is so vast. The study of Rome, however, lends itself to a selection of topics which can be understood by a child at his own level. For the 16-18 age-group J. N. L. Myres, A History of Rome is still valuable in spite of the fact that it is concerned only with the Republic. Two books which cover the ground for the 13-15 group in reasonable depth are E. Royston Pike, Republican Rome and H. E. L. Mellersh, Imperial Rome. The best survey of life in Rome is still F. R. Cowell, Everyday Life in Ancient Rome. H. and R. Leacroft, The Buildings of Ancient Rome is an excellent survey of the types of buildings found in Rome and the Empire with clear, careful line drawings which will be understood by the all age-groups.
