Full description

This complex game used to teach Latin grammar and the history of Rome provides a useful contrast to other playful English grammars created for younger children. The cards offer quiz or exercize questions with the answer key provided in vol. 3. The first two hefty volumes provide a history of Rome, which can be read independent of the game. References to Roman history structure the order of the quiz cards.
