Excerpt from Outlines of Roman History: For the Use of High Schools and Academies In tracing the growth of the Roman people, the effort has been made to keep clearly and prominently in view that which has given to this people their distinctive place in history, the genius for organization. The kingdom, the republic, and the empire are seen to be successive stages in the growth of a policy to bring together and organize the various elements of the ancient world. Attention is paid to the life and cus toms of the Roman people - their houses, meals, dress, mar riage and funeral customs, education, etc. But these have not been made so prominent as to lead the pupil to believe that the study of antiquities can take the place of the study of history in the proper sense of the word. Special attention is called to the maps, which are intended to show the location of every place mentioned in the text. The series of progressive maps shows in a clear way the gradual expansion of the Roman dominion. For the purpose of encouraging the reading of other books, each chapter is supplemented by two short lists of reading references, the one applying to the general subject-matter of the chapter, under the name of Selections for Reading; and the other consti tuting a Special Study upon some especially important or interesting topic. A classified list of the most valuable and available books in the English language upon Roman history will be found in the appendix to this volume. Every experi enced teacher knows that history cannot be adequately taught by means of any single book, and that too much importance cannot be attached to the use of suitable bibliographical aids.

You can teach your kids many facts about Ancient Roman history and culture by reading about the Roman gods. They were very popular and worshiped by all the people in the world. It was not unusual to find temples dedicated to them in the ruins of the Forum. They were also known for being very skilled fighters. The emperors became gods as well. They were the most powerful people in the world.Unlike today, the Roman family was headed by the father, who had all the power, but the wife still had a large say in family matters. Wealthy families sent their children to school and had them taught reading, writing, mathematics, literature, debate, and art. The poor children were not sent to school and had to make do with what they had. The rich kids went to public schools and were taught the skills necessary for leading a household, while the poor children were kept out.The Romans had couches in their homes. They sat on their left arm and ate. In the Colosseum, women washed their clothes in the Tiber. Their wealth also meant that they had access to a lot of things that we take for granted. For example, the Colosseum had an eight hundred-seat theatre and a 1,000 drinking fountains. In ancient times, men had iron helmets, while women had wooden shields and bare arms.
