The Curious Historian Level 2 is the second part in a 3-level series that presents the study of history and culture from the beginnings of civilization (Mesopotamia and Egypt) through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Students will grow excited about history, see how people throughout the ages were both similar to and different from themselves, and learn to be scholars of the past who can make a difference in the future. The Curious Historian Level 2B: Rome and the Classical World (TCH2B) introduces students to:
Unit I: The Roman Republic: The early beginnings of Rome; Roman citizens, soldiers, and deities; The Roman Republic’s Great Wars; Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, and the Principate; Remarkable Romans—historians, poets, scientists, and more.
Unit II: The Roman Empire: The Julio-Claudian and Flavian Dynasties; The Antonine and the Severan Dynasties; Diocletian and the Dominate; Constantine and the rise of Christianity; Roman culture—the life of Roman women and slaves.
Unit III: Empires of the East China during the Warring States Period; The Qin and Han dynasties of China; The early Middle Kingdoms Period in India.
The TCH2B student edition includes weekly chapter lessons that present a chronological narrative of history. Accompanying sidebars feature historical and archaeological tidbits, discussion questions, and Latin root words for key vocabulary. A wealth of exercises, hands-on projects and activities, maps, and appendices help to present the study of history in an engaging, creative manner.

The Teacher Edition has a full student text plus detailed teacher notes & tips, answers, and sample responses. A digital resource packet is available for an additional fee from the publisher with supplemental material such as: entertaining songs summarizing events, suggested reading lists, printable downloadable files including full-color timelines, reference charts, and blank maps, and Biblical Connections (locations, historical figures, and scripture verses). There is also a free supplemental resource available from the publisher with links to museum collections of artifacts and other fun tidbits.

While Curious Historian is presented in a more standard format than other elementary programs such as Story of the World, it implements many nice features such as full color images, timelines, and sidebar details and focuses on aspects of culture that may not be covered in other curricula.
