The Pax Romana Project Friends, Romans, citizens, lend me your skills! Augustus Caesar ushered in an era of extended peace and expansion in the Roman Empire that lasted for nearly 200 years, the Pax Romana. During this span of time, the Roman Empire reached the height of its power. As an expertly skilled Roman citizen, you have been tasked with reflecting back on important aspects of the Pax Romana to use your skills to both examine and pay tribute to the greatness of Rome! To complete this commemorative endeavor, you will complete four introspective steps: each of which beckons for you to glimpse back into the splendorous history of Rome. The challenge is great, and only the most skilled citizens will succeed! The Steps are laid out in order in the space below: Step I: The Artist – Recreate the intricate details of Trajan’s Column and the Augustus of Prima Porta Statue. Step II: The Geographer – Draft a map of the Ancient Roman Empire at its peak, and make sure to label key cities, provinces, and geographical features. Step III: Scribe – Recount the legend of Rome’s founding by Romulus and Remus for future generations so that the Empire’s legacy will live on in the hearts of all people. Step IV: Historian – Craft an accurate rendering of a Roman Soldier in complete battle armor to capture the glory and splendor of the Roman Legions. Step I – The Artist You have been commissioned to draft renderings of two of the most famous works of art and sculpture in the Empire: the Augustus of Prima Porta Statue and Trajan’s Column.

As the years pass; however, people tend to forget the great tale of Romulus and Remus. You have been tasked with recounting the tale in the form of a 16 line rhythmical narrative that will regale young and old citizens alike for millennia to come! Use the following ancient resource to view the tale of Romulus and Remus and then craft your 16 line rhyming narrative in the space below: http://www.schooltube.com/video/2e68b600ed2e44cf9807/Romulus%20and%20Remus Step IV – The Historian The Roman Empire could never have thrived without its valiant Roman Legions made up of the bravest and fiercest warriors the world had ever seen! Each legion consisted of men who had to be trained in order to become warriors and each man had to wear the necessary battle armor in order to be an effective soldier.
