Title: prejudiced and thin
Review: I used this book in our homeschool studies of ancient Rome, but gave up after about 30 short chapters. I found the narrative very condescending and prejudiced, and actually skipped or censored several parts. The author obviously preferred and defended Roman culture/politics over all others from that time, even when Rome was clearly in the wrong. The text also lacks footnotes, so it is impossible to differentiate the author's opinion from fact.Frankly, I am surprised to see this book recommended in so many Charlotte Mason circles, as it is as far as one can get from a living book.
