History with the nasty bits left in! ‘The Rotten Romans’ follows life for folks in Roman Britain from Nasty Nero and other awful emperors, to brave Boudica and the poor old peasants, who tried to send the Romans right back where they came from. Read on to find some terrible tactics of the rotten Roman army, clever ideas of the cut-throat Celts, gory games, rotten recipes, and loads of frightening facts. History has never been so horrible!
Reviews
I mostly enjoyed this book it was really fun to read .I loved all of the funny parts that were added which made the book especially enjoyable.It was cool to learn about the past and how much has changed since then but I do not think I would want to be a Roman.

This was a very factual book and told me lots of good information about the Romans. My favourite part was when they told funny jokes and I told my Grandpa them. I think my teacher would enjoy reading it.

This is a very interesting book with a lot of shocking facts that teachers would never tell us! The illustrations are great and everything is explained well. Here's a fact, did you know that some people in the Roman Empire dunked their new-born children in cold water. If it came up shivering or purple with the cold it was a weakling and wasn't worth bringing up, it was left to die! I would recommend this book to someone who loves crazy facts!

I think it is a very factual book to read. I found out lots of new things about the romans such as they invaded brittan and then the british people wanyed them to come back.I also learmed that some romans did not like the public baths and they complained about the disliked romapn baths.
