Greece and Rome spine

[Nam2001]

Does anyone know of a good spine to use for grades 4-8 that would cover Ancient Greece and Rome on a very basic level? Not too many details. For instance, not like the Guerber books - even though great books, just too much info. So something that covers the main people, places and events of that time. 

Thanks!

Maybe "Augustus Caesar's World" by Genevieve Foster.

My son is really liking the Famous Men books.  I have been pre-reading Augustus Caesar's World.  I really liked the first half - it was good enough that I stayed up too late reading it.  Some of the later chapters, especially those dealing with narrative portions of the gospe!s, are not a very good summary imo.  If you are Christian, you might want to skip those chapters since your student probably already has a better understanding than what is provided.  If you are not Christian, I recommend looking to another source to provide that background info.
