Roman Review Virtual School Visit

Roman Review Virtual School Visit

Discover what the Romans brought to Britain with an online meeting with an archaeologist

The Talk

This Virtual School Visit will include a short talk in which your class will discover how life changed in Britain following the advance of the Roman Empire.

Explore the many ways in which Roman culture and politics altered life after the invasion of 43CE, including building projects, homes, food, religion and social hierarchy. Throughout the talk they will have the opportunity to see a wide range of real and replica Roman artefacts and discover how these objects can provide rich details of how they lived their lives. 

Then it is their turn to take charge...

Students will have the opportunity to participate in a dynamic discussion on Roman Britain led by the visiting archaeologist. Classes can pose their Roman questions and discuss the answers, tailoring their discoveries to their individual interests.
