The Ancient Romans----- You Name It; It's Here!

Look through Mr. Donn's page on ancient Rome and you will find information on everything from what they ate for breakfast to what they did for fun. Be sure to check out the games

that follow the written information on each page. My favorite is "Bath Bubbles at the Roman Baths", which you'll find under the topic "The Baths" on Mr. Donn's list of Roman topics!

For today's assignment, select a topic that interests you. Open and explore all the links that go with it. Write about what you have learned in the comments section for this posting, and read other comments to see what your classmates have found.

Here is Mr. Donn's page on Rome: http://www.rome.mrdonn.org/ Enjoy!
