Exploring Roman Civilisation

Last Friday the fourth form Classical Civilisation classes went to the British Museum to explore different aspects of Roman Civilisation as part of their current classroom projects. They saw a variety of objects, ranging from ancient baking trays, to a tortoise-shell lyre; from crocodile armour to Medusa earrings; from statuettes of rats playing the trumpet, to portraits from Palmyra. They even had the chance to view the Parthenon marbles!
