Discover two sides of history with the Time Travel Twins!

Twins, Scarlett and Thomas, are learning about the Romans at school. So Grandad uses his time machine to send them back to Roman Britain.
Scarlett finds herself in a Roman camp and is chosen as a slave by the Emperor Claudius’s daughter, Antonia. The two become friends and Scarlett sees first hand the glamour and treachery of the Roman court.
Thomas joins a rabble of local kids who hate the Romans. Their leader is a small red-headed girl called Boudicca. Even when the kids are overwhelmed and taken as slaves, Bou hatches another plan to attack the Romans.
