Romans verses Celts
The Romans in Italy invaded the Celts in
Britain over 2000 years ago. It was a very,
very long time ago. The Romans won because
their army was very strong and powerful. The
Celts had a worse army that’s why they lost.
From that time there were also Romans in
Britain. Roksana and Solomon
Roman pets
The Romans had exotic pets like monkeys or
snakes and things like that because the rich
people could buy exotic pets and they could
even have a rat as a pet. The poor people
could not have pets like this. They don’t have
dogs or cats as pets. The Romans had a lot
of pets. Roksana and Solomon
Games and toys
In the Roman times children did not have
games like we do now. They had lots of
other games like they played games with
dice in it a lot. They also had dolls to play
with. If they had a pet, they would
normally play with it. The Roman children
did not like games a lot because they
played with their pet. Roksana and
Solomon.
Houses
The Roman buildings were very big and they
were very tall. But the houses were a bit
small. The poor people had to live in a
little cottage. The rich people had big, tall
houses. It wasn't fair for the poor people.
The rich people had more things than the
poor and they could do more things like
having a big dinner and they could have pets
like a monkey or rat. Roksana and Solomon
Families and schools
Some Roman families were very poor but some
were very, very rich. Even, some families were
not poor but not rich as well. Some children
went to school but some did not. More
Roman children were taught by their mum in
the house. Roksana and Solomon
