What did the Romans do for us? Well, actually rather a lot - they left legacies from sewage systems to language, which is what makes them so fascinating to learn about.
Ancient Rome is a popular topic with children at school, which is taught as part of the KS2 history curriculum. Kids love learning about the Roman Army, gladiators, Boudica and Roman Britain, dressing up in togas and perhaps even trying some Roman food (dormouse, anyone?).
Discover our top books about the Romans for kids to support their learning, including fascinating non-fiction, exciting stories and informative picture books.
These are all suitable for KS2 children, with picture books and young fiction for Year 3 & 4 children, and middle-grade reads and in-depth non-fiction for pupils in Year 5 & 6.
