Romans and archaeology

Description

Using a range of original and replica objects, one of our trained facilitators will lead your students in an interactive, enquiry-based discovery of the Romans.

In this session students will learn about daily life in a Roman villa by piecing together fragments of the past. They will discover what we can learn from bones, building material and other archaeological finds.
