Book
A Ship to Rome
Buy the book from:
Young passengers aboard a vessel bound for Rome encounter storms, piracy and the inequalities of ancient maritime travel. Their survival depends on sailors, merchants and enslaved people whose lives sustain imperial trade.
The novel uses the voyage to reveal how Rome was supplied and connected to its provinces. Trease presents the empire as a network of ports, cargoes and legal statuses rather than only an army and a capital.
