After studying ancient Greece, we moved onto ancient Rome.
We learned about the gladiators and the armor of God, we dreamed of walking on the Appian Way, and compared their political system to Athens and Sparta, and we got hands on with a few projects.

This is our aqueduct .. but ours carried marbles instead of water.
It stayed in our living room for several days, until the wrapping paper rolls and tape weren't working well together anymore. I thought it was interesting to learn about the gradual grade used, the arches and just how far the Romans could get their water to travel.

This is our standard. When the Roman armies would come into a new land, they'd raise their standard high to announce their forthcoming. We did some research and made our own standard - topped with a Poe Gnome holding a CTR shield and the sword of truth. The three decorated golden plates represent the three kiddos. We also read scriptures about raising a standard - and they made much more sense! :)
