A Week as a Roman

Students will immerse themselves in the daily life of ancient Romans by making shields, tunicas, and Roman recipes in preparation for a Roman banquet on Friday. They will explore what Romans wore, ate, and did, gaining a hands-on understanding of ancient Roman civilization. This project emphasizes the humanity of ancient peoples, offering opportunities to reflect on modern culture through the lens of history. Participants will engage in activities such as shield making, sewing, and cooking, culminating in a celebratory banquet that showcases their creations.
