Travel back in time to view the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the
Roman Empire. Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend
Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch
whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships
unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the
forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The
ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for
air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a
boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded
history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their
beloved city, Pompeii. Although this book handles the sensitive
subject of a tragic natural disaster, this book perfectly pitched
for years 2 and 3. It is great in explaining the daily life of
Romans from a child's point of view. Perfectly aligned to the KS2
curriculum, for those studying the Romans in school.
