Thomas Gable · Senior Activity & Word Search Books
In the year 476, the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire was pushed off his throne, and an era that had lasted for centuries came to an end. 476 CE: The Fall of Rome Word Search, from our senior imprint Thomas Gable, turns that dramatic story into more than 100 large-print puzzles.
A history lesson hiding in every grid
With 4,000 words to find, this book is built for people who love a good challenge and a good story. Each puzzle has its own theme, so as you search you’ll also be picking up the vocabulary of the ancient world:
- War and power: legions, generals, weapons of war and the tribes that crossed the borders
- Daily life: Roman homes, food, clothing, baths and the jobs people held
- Entertainment: chariot races, theater and the gladiators of the Colosseum
- Faith and change: Roman gods, the rise of Christianity and the shift into the medieval world
- Language: Latin words still hiding in the English we speak today
Big print, no squinting
Like every Thomas Gable book, it’s made for seniors and adults, with grids and word lists printed large and clear so you can relax and enjoy the hunt. It’s a great way to keep your mind busy while learning something new about one of history’s most famous turning points.
