Publisher's Summary

The imaginative talents of Caroline Lawrence (author of the Roman Mysteries series) and Laura Jenkinson Brown (illustrator of Greek Myth comics) combined with the expertise of Dr Sophie Hay, Prof. Andrew Wallace-Hadrill and Dr Olivia Elder, with just a dash of the CSCP magic that made the Cambridge Latin Course so well-loved, bring the ancient town of Pompeii to life in a truly unique way.

Enjoy the wonderful narration of Tim Waghorn as you follow the story of Amarantus and his neighborhood as they experience a year of puppies, friendships, weddings, funerals, bar fights, elections and earthquakes, and find out:

• why honey is a ‘hot food’

• why the best seat in the house was on the ‘lowest’ couch

• how the Romans cleaned their ears

• and why the late drinkers supported Vatia in the local elections.
