Synopsis "Thames & Hudson the Story of Rome in 1000 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.Author Daisy Dunn's 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.With jaw-dropping illustrations by the creative duo behind The Odyssey in 1000 Pieces, this puzzle is bursting with details. Marvel at the splendor of Queen Dido's palace in Carthage, spot Augustus in the underworld, and watch as the gods convene to argue over Aeneas's fate. The layout of the jigsaw is inspired by the Shield of Aeneas, with the twenty scenes organized in the shape of a shield, which puzzlers can follow in a clockwise spiral, starting from the center. Unfold the concertina to reveal a guide to the scenes.
