At the Gallo Romans is a scientific children's book in the series That's how children lived then by French author/archaeologist Gérard Coulon. It tells about the life of the Gauls (whom we know from the Asterix and Obelix comic books) under the Roman occupation. This time not more or less fantasized together by two comic book artists, but based on traces in the landscape and archaeological discoveries.
Throughout the book you will find photos of the most beautiful statues and objects from Roman times, making the life of Roman children visible to us. The little monsters are very pleased that some toys from that time have been preserved, such as a rattle, a spinning top and dice, made of bone, to name a few. Children from so long ago played with the same toys they do!
This book is very worthwhile to read with your mini monster(s). Sadly the book is not translated into English! In addition to the personal stories from children, you will also read many interesting facts and in the back you will find a Lexicon with names. A very pleasant book to read to the children, very educational and fun at the same time!
3+ radiant stars for At the Gallo-Romans, from the young listeners and the readers!
