Dangerous Days in the Roman Empire: Terrors and Torments, Diseases and Deaths by Terry Deary
4.0
This book is from the author of the Horrible History books which I had loved so much and this book is one of the books for adults that focuses on the more gruesome parts of history.
I did enjoy this book, it went through the different emperors that ruled over Rome and the good, bad and the mad things they did, however, I felt like it was missing a certain lightheartedness and humour that I so enjoyed in the Horrible History books. It was a good overview of the more gruesome bits of the Roman Empire and covered why it failed in the end, and I found it interesting, but it was just missing something for me.
4 stars!
