The Story of Rome in 1,000 Pieces: A Narrative Jigsaw Puzzle

Build this jigsaw puzzle—without divine intervention—and join Aeneas, Trojan hero and son of Venus, as he escapes the fallen city of Troy. Follow as he battles mighty storms and ancient monsters, becomes entangled in a tragic love affair, and ultimately reaches Italy, where he founds the world’s greatest city, Rome. This puzzle comes with a foldout that summarizes twenty key scenes from Virgil’s epic poem, The Aeneid, bringing to life a rich cast of heroes and heroines, as well as jealous deities. The text also offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Virgil: learn about his rural upbringing, his friendship with Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, and his dramatic plans for The Aeneid should he die before its completion.
