Museums are storehouses of interesting things that help us learn more about the natural world and other cultures. Ancient Rome provides ideas and activities to help students create their own amazing "museum" full of specially crafted "artifacts" from the ancient civilization of Rome. These projects and activities highlight the economic, political, scientific, and cultural components on which civilizations are based. Here are just a few of the kinds of artifacts students can make for the class museum while working alone, with a partner, or in small groups: Roman roads, Aqueducts, Mosaics, Roman coins, Roman masks, Roman clothing and jewelry, Roman gods and goddesses, Mileposts.
