Go Roman Handling Boxes

Our ‘Go Roman’ Antonine Wall themed resource features a handling collection of quality replica Roman objects. There are four themed boxes:

1. The Legionary Soldier
2. The Syrian Archer
3. Off Duty
4. Food and Cooking

What is included in the resource?

Each theme also has a set of Teacher’s Notes and accompanying set of ‘Let’s Investigate’ object discussion and information cards. These can be downloaded from the Historic Environment Scotland website.

How is it linked to the curriculum?

Go Roman is linked specifically to Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes, First Level in Social Subjects: People, past events and societies. However, it can be adapted to be used by any age group and out with a classroom.
