Ready for a history lesson with a terrifying, gruesome twist? Strap yourself in, because this time we’re heading back 2000 years to uncover the Horrible truth about the Roman Empire. This Rotten Romans book includes loads of fiendish facts about the best (or worst, depending how you look at it!) Roman leaders, namely Julius Caesar, Nero and Claudius. Attention is also given to their enemies, the Cut-Throat Celts and the Battling Britons, and there are even some disgusting secrets about the Romans’ way of life, like the fact that rich people had a designated room which they called “the Vomitorium”!
Best of all, you can personalise this Horrible Histories book with your child’s name on the cover and a message to them inside, making this funny and educational present just that extra bit special.
How to Personalise
Personalise your book with your child’s name, which will be printed on the cover and the title page. Then add a special message of up to 80 characters and two lines, which will also feature on the title page. There is also the option to present your book in a luxury gift box.
When entering your personalisation, please note that accents, emojis and other symbols can’t be used as our system doesn’t support these. Make sure to double check your spelling!

As my grandaughter loves horrible histories she is really enjoying the book
I thought there would be a delay getting my book to Australia due to the pandemic. But there wasn’t! From the moment I purchased my item the process was prompt and seamless

Our grand-daughter was delighted!
Delivered ahead of schedule which was excellent. The book is well produced, colourful and entertaining and our grand-daughter loved seeing her name repeatedly included in the story.

FRAUDULENT!!!
FRAUDULENT!!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. They don’t give you a tracking number. “My orders” and “track your order” pages are always “down”. I paid expedited shipping (10 days), said they “accidentally” shipped ground (15 days), it’s been 2 months and haven’t received it. Don’t believe all the fake positive reviews.
