Interpreting Aquae Sulis – Evidence of Roman Daily Life

This session for Key Stage 3 introduces students to a wide range of historical sources and evidence about Roman daily life. It includes Roman artefacts, that will enable students to describe, analyse and evaluate arguments for and against the interpretation: ‘Aquae Sulis was a typical Roman town. To what extent do you agree?’ Sources will cover ‘Roman Bathing’ and ‘Town Life’ as well as ‘Travel and Trade’, asking students to examine and interpret the sources in order to reach a judgement based on the evidence presented. This session uses sources in translation.
