About the book
Peter Connolly and Hazel Dodge explore two great cities of the classical world and the lives of the people who lived in them, starting from detailed reconstructions of their buildings. Connolly's illustrations and reconstructions combine draughtsmanship, imagination and research, and the text suits readers of many kinds, young adults and professional historians alike.
Paul Graham said on X that it is one of the best books he has found for explaining history to children.
