A Picture History of Ancient Rome by Richard Erdoes

A Picture History of Ancient Rome
Not quite what I was expecting of a "picture history" book, but still a pretty good overall book.  Oversized, it walks through about a 2nd/3rd grade level history of ancient Rome, with illustrations, but not exactly like I was expecting.  I was expecting a book that was more "graphic novel" or "Usborne" style, and what I got was classic illustrations of a children's book.  However, that being said, it is a pretty good and interesting children's book with a fairly easy to follow storyline considering how much history it covers.
