You may never read the Bible the same way again after you hear Dave Stotts. His adventures include on-location explorations, loads of animation, and narration that's definitely "outside the classroom"! Rome If You Want To contains three thrilling 30-minute episodes: Episode 1: "Lost in Rome, The Forum & Palatine Hill," Episode 2: "The Circus Maximus," and Episode 3: "Hannibal Invades Rome."

In the first episode, Dave Stotts gets lost in the Eternal City, explores Palatine Hill (home to the Caesars), and teaches about the Arch of Titus and its connection to one of the most important stories of all time–the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. This amazing, yet largely untold story will help you make sense of history and today's headlines in a whole new way. In the second episode Dave will take you on a grand tour that starts with modern auto racing, tracing back its connection to the Circus Maximus and chariot racing. You will learn that the Circus Maximus was the likely location of the start of the great fire of Rome–a fire some believe was started by Emperor Nero. This episode ends with a look at Nero and the first Christian persecutions, which include the Apostles Peter and Paul. The last episode starts with the story of the Punic Wars and the great Carthaginian General, Hannibal. Dave looks at Hannibals tactical brilliance including his use of war elephants. Next, it's on to the Roman Coliseum. You will learn more about this amazing place than you can imagine–including how all the gladiatorial bloodshed finally came to an end through a mild mannered monk.

"I have just completed my order with AOP for our homeschooling materials for the next school year. For the first time in the two years I have been homeschooling our three boys, I feel a complete peace and excitement for the school year to come. As many homeschoolers do, I have researched and tried many of the homeschooling products available. Indeed, the choices are endless. However, I have finally found a curriculum with AOP that fits our family's values, goals, learning styles, and lifestyle. Thank you for offering quality products at such an affordable price. We look forward to many years of learning with AOP and the blessings that are sure to come. God bless you all at AOP!"
