Lamprey sets out not to retell legendary history but to recreate the world in which figures like Romulus might have lived. Linked stories follow children and families of early Latium through volcanic upheaval, the founding of clans, the sacred year of festivals and the war against the tyrant Amulius, showing how the first Romans farmed, worshipped and governed.
An imaginative introduction to early Rome for young readers and for families learning ancient history together. Download the free EPUB.
