Tarquinius Priscus tells the story of Rome's fifth king, a bold ruler who rose from foreign roots to lead the city in its greatest age yet. Builder of walls, founder of games, and victor in battle, Tarquinius helped transform Rome from a village of shepherds into a rising power. Told in stirring prose and illustrated in the style of ancient mosaics, this book brings to life the triumphs, trials, and legacy of a king both admired and feared.

Children ages 7-12 will discover how Tarquinius conquered enemies, strengthened Rome's defenses, honored the gods, and paid the price for his ambition. Young readers learn not only Roman history but also lasting lessons about courage, leadership, and the cost of greatness.

Includes a historical artifact and vivid illustrations on every spread-perfect for classical schools and families who want history told with beauty and truth.
