  Each book in this series deals with a topic in a History Study Unit at Key Stage 3 (age 11-14) of the National Curriculum. The text fills in the background to the period and gives an account of the course of events. Information is also conveyed by means of maps and diagrams. The reader is invited to analyze original source material, such as documents, illustrations and statistics, and thereby to develop appropriate skills. Focusing on the Roman Empire, this book describes its growth, government, daily life and legacy, and goes on to chart the decline of the central imperial authority in the face of the invasion from the east. It also discusses ways in which the influence of the Romans is still evident today.
