Daily Life in a Roman Town

Describe daily life in a Roman town — the forum (marketplace and meeting place), public baths, amphitheatre, and villas — and explain that the Romans were brilliant engineers who built straight roads, aqueducts to carry water, underfloor heating (hypocaust), and Hadrian's Wall to mark the empire's northern frontier in Britain

Typical age: 7–9 years

“If your family visited Roman ruins like a bathhouse or Hadrian's Wall, could your child explain what they were used for and how the Romans built them?”
