Escape from Vesuvius — Jo Foster

To prepare for this life or death mission, Charlie teaches kids how to properly wear a toga, read gladiators' armor and weapons, and be a perfect Roman dinner guest

It's Pompeii, AD 79, and Vesuvius is about to erupt. The Department of Historical Accuracy needs a History Spy with nerves of steel to find out what the city was really like. Your mission is to find out what happened at a gladiator battle, what went on at the luxurious banquets, and why everyone in Pompeii was so smelly! Finally, you will witness the eruption that buried the city for 2,000 years. Better listen to Charlie when he explains the basics of Latin, Roman numerals, and sandals.
