hmm...it's good..

but if they can reproduce the background of founding of Rome(let us see how is the look of Rome start with just a few village),rise of Rome until fall of Rome will be better...coz picture tell the history more simple and clear than just ABCD(then we can only imagine what the history describe,imagine still can't fulfill our curiousity!:yes: )
