Description
Publisher's Description of Roman Diary: The Journal of Iliona, Young Slave
Iliona never imagined that her sea voyage from Greece to Egypt would lead to Rome, but when she is captured by pirates and auctioned off as a slave, that's where she lands. Readers are invited to view the wonders of Rome through Iliona's eyes -- the luxury, the excess, and the politics.
Category Description for Historical Diaries
These diaries make it enjoyable for young people to learn about living in ancient civilizations.
Roman Diary chronicles the story of Iliona, a Greek girl who is captured by pirates and auctioned off as a slave. While life is better than she anticipated, she must learn about the Roman culture: daily life, politics, and the excesses of the rich. This book is an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award winner.
Egyptian Diary is about Nakht, a young boy whose family is moving to Memphis, a city south of Cairo. As a student training to be a scribe, he keeps a journal about his life to sharpen his skills. He documents his view of temples and pyramids, a hippopotamus hunt, and a tomb robbery!
