Reviews

[Kathleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Roman Fort is the fourth book I’ve studied in the Inside Story series which was written for older children. The intricate drawings, combined with the text, provide good information on what life what like in a Roman fort and to be a Roman soldier. I had not appreciated how well developed the Romans were. I think that other adults will also learn from this book and others in the series. They are providing a historical understanding of the time and place that I did not have.
