For further reading, needless to say, if your child enjoys The Man From Pomegranate Street, there are sixteen other novels in the same series, as well as various spin-offs. Bookbag has reviewed both the first, [[The Thieves of Ostia by Caroline Lawrence|The Thieves of Ostia]], and the sixteenth, [[The Prophet from Ephesus (The Roman Mysteries) by Caroline Lawrence|The Prophet from Ephesus]]. However, to enthral your child with the Classics by using fiction, I'd recommend anything by Rosemary Sutcliff (not yet reviewed by Bookbag, sadly). The Eagle of the Ninth is set in Roman Britain, and her interpretations of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Black Ships Before Troy and The Wanderings of Odysseus, have much to offer an adult readership, too.
Young readers interested in a combination of ancient history and mystery will enjoy [[Orphan of the Sun by Gill Harvey]], or if a series is required, consider Michelle Paver's [[Soul Eater by Michelle Paver|Chronicles of Ancient Darkness]]. You might also enjoy [[Escape From Rome: The Roman Quests by Caroline Lawrence]].
