Teaching history in schools

Teachers always are asked to bring the students closer to those past times, Egypt, Greece, the Roman or Medieval period. Indeed, the students learn best, if they can explore those distant cultures themselves. Out of our own teaching experience we have created a set of teaching material which facilitates exactly this creative learning. Make either individually, in small groups or as an entire class an ancient scroll or recreate a sphinx: these are big adventures for your students and will instill in them new historical interests. The Roman Shop provides extensive educational material for teachers, with small sets for demonstrations, but also entire class sets ? and this at an affordable price. Creative work must be done not only in art classes, they can alse be enjoyed in RE, History, Politics, Geography, or Greek and Latin. The ideal context is, of corse, an entire project week, where activities can be carried out for a few days. And yet, very effective results can already be achieved in a single hour in the class!

Historical topics for the teachers - schools

Our teaching material for classes covers four major theme areas: ancient Roman time, the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Middle Ages. Depending on the available time and desired outcomes, you can opt for small, easy to create painted bookmarks or for more extensive works such as mosaic sets. In addition we offer already ready-made teaching material which is easy to use for teachers as well as students, fully supported by instructions and all necessary items to achieve the end products (so, no need for buying additional materials).

Many cut-out-sheets or sets, such as our Roman helmet, require no adhesives. Handicraft at school can not be easier!

It was not easy to find out after 2000 years! Here are some answers: An important part of Roman cult practices were the gods. No Roman undertook a journey, the conclusion of a business, or the order of a campaign, before he had obtained a council from the world of the gods. The interrogations of the gods, so-called auspices, were carried out by specialists, the augurs. Most of them observed the bird's flight or read the signs of the gods in the intestines of sacrificed animals. The phenomena to be interpreted were the consent of the gods or the rejection of the human project.

Gods

And the Romans had very many gods! A whole pantheon full, so they called the Roman god heaven. Jupiter, the godfather and Juno, were his wife. In the great temples of the cities, the Romans paid tribute to their patriots. The Romans also made their emperors divine figures, who after their death ascended into the Pantheon. It was a colorful world of gods at that time, and everyone could pay homage to his favorite gods. And how did the Romans gracious their gods? The most important action was sacrificium. Sacrifices for the Roman gods were available in all sizes: from precious incense to the Hecatombe victims: 100 killed bulls!
