Ten-year-old Flavius had almost everything a boy could wish for. His parents belonged to the Roman aristocracy, he went to the finest school where he was treated like a young prince and even had his personal slave or "pedagogue" to carry his schoolbooks for him. Today, the proudest day of his life, he was riding in a procession, a Triumph, in honor of his father who was returning, a conquering General from the wars in Greece. Full of pride in his father and his life, Flavius learns important lessons from his Greek slave pedagogue and in the end wins a Triumph of his own. Set in Ancient Rome before the Empire and perfect for 3rd or 4th grade readers. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Snedeker’s picture of ancient Greece for older readers is The Spartan while for younger readers it is Lysis Goes to the Play. In a similar manner, her description of ancient Rome for older children is The Forgotten Daughter, and for the younger set it is A Triumph for Flavius. Opening with the portrayal of a Roman triumph or victory parade that gives a clear idea of both its excitement and its cruelty, the book is written in a very simple, understated style that will be easy for the middle-grade reader to handle. It is a wonderful introduction to the study of classical Rome and Greece that will bring these cultures to life, including what school was like for Roman boys. The developing compassion of Flavius for his captured Greek slave is especially touching. ( )
