The book dismantles the classic image of the Roman Empire to reveal its more violent side: from Romulus and Remus to cruel emperors, via the Colosseum, where people and animals died. With black humor and a light-hearted tone, it explains why the Romans were so ruthless.

Aimed at child and young adult readers; the recommended age range is 8 to 12 years.
