NOW IN PAPERBACK! The kid-friendly series that makes history approachable, engaging, and funny! From the publishing house that brought you the Who Was? books. The Thrifty Guide to Ancient Rome: A Handbook for Time Travelers is a snappy, informative travel guide that comes in the package with your time machine purchase in the year 2163. It contains information vital to the sensible time traveler: Where can I find a decent hotel room in ancient Rome for under five sesterces a day? Is horse parking included? What do I do if I´m attacked by barbarians? What are my legal options if I´m fed to the lions at the Colosseum? Designed as a parody of Fodor´s guides, complete with humorous maps, reviews of top attractions (Julius Caesar´s assassination is a must-see!), and tips on whom to have lunch with (Hannibal, assuming he doesn´t kill you). If you had a time travel machine and could take a vacation anywhere in history, this is the only guidebook you would need.
