About Ancient Rome

Rome grew from a city on the Tiber into an empire ringing the Mediterranean, governed first by a Senate and later by emperors. Its engineers moved water across valleys on arched aqueducts, and its soldiers marched on paved roads like the Appian Way, each legion following a standard topped by an eagle. Latin survives in law, medicine and the romance languages; Roman numerals still mark clock faces and book chapters. Volcanic ash buried Pompeii in AD 79, preserving streets and loaves of bread.

Reach for this alongside a middle school unit on the Roman Republic and Empire, or after a museum visit to classical antiquities.
