Roman Post II
The top three resources we should use in this class are http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/romans/index.htm http://www.pbs.org/empires/romans/ and http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/romans/a/102610-Ancient-Romans-A-To-Z.htm. These sources offer the most information about the art, people, ways of life, and virtually every other aspect of Rome. The first website has lots of useful information about the religion, food, clothing, and economy of Rome. The second and third websites have much information on the government structures, republics, and history of Rome. These are the three resources our class should use to learn more about Rome.
