TEACHING GUIDE FOR TRANSPARENCY PAGES
The Roman Empire
As students complete the Roman Empire activity
they should get a feeling for the vast extent of
the area once controlled by Rome. This
transparency will also be a helpful reference for
places mentioned in the text in other activities.
This transparency can be used in conjunction
with the activity, Waging War and Keeping
the Peace.
Providing Water—the Roman Way
All large cities need a constant supply of water
for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing.
As students complete the activity, Bath Time: A
Social Occasion they will learn how important
it was for the Romans to have a reliable source
of water.
An aqueduct is a channel built to carry water. It
may be open or closed, above ground or below.
An aqueduct bridge carries water over a valley
or river.

The Influence of Latin on English
Latin was the official language of the Roman
Empire. Countries conquered by Rome had their
own languages, but officials learned to speak
Latin. Latin later became the official language of
the Christian Church. Many English words,
prefixes, and suffixes come to us from Latin.
Iron helmets protected soldiers’ heads, faces,
and necks. Body armor was made of hinged
iron plates or chain mail. Soldiers carried shields
made of wood and covered with leather for
protection. Weapons included daggers (about
10 inches long), short swords (about 20 inches
long), and spears.

What Is It? Transparency
This transparency can be used as a stand-alone
activity or in conjunction with the activities on
pages 4 and 11. This item was used to hold oil
to be rubbed on someone’s body during a
massage after a bath. At the end of the
massage, the long tools would have been used
to scrape oil and dirt from the body before the
person returned to the hot bath.
This transparency can be used as a stand-alone
activity, in conjunction with the activity II, IV,
VI, VIII! Roman Numerals Are Really Great!, or
as part of a language arts unit as students define
each English word and list other words for each
Latin root.
Discuss how knowing the meaning of a Latin
root word can help us understand the meaning
of an unfamiliar English word.
Ready for Battle
To conquer and hold the vast territory of the
empire, the Roman army needed to be larger,
better trained, and better equipped than any
other. Roman soldiers wore equipment for
protection in battle and carried weapons for
fighting.

The Romans built the first underground
aqueduct around 310 B.C.E. The first aboveground aqueduct, 56 miles long, was built in
144 B.C.E. With over a million people living in
Rome, the need for a large supply of water was
constant. The Romans also built aqueducts in
many countries they conquered.
The Roman aqueducts were so well built
that some remain standing today. In fact,
aqueducts still provide water to some of the
fountains in Rome.
The Colosseum, A Bloody Arena
In the Colosseum, a huge Roman
Amphitheater which held 50,000 spectators,
gladiators and slaves fought each other and
wild animals in bloody contests. This
transparency can be used in conjunction with
the activity, A Visit to the Colosseum.

TEACHING GUIDE FOR TRANSPARENCY PAGES
Later the Colosseum was turned into a fortress.
From the 1200s to the 1400s, it became the
stage for religious plays and in the 1400s,
bullfights became popular. After the 1700s,
many people began to view the Colosseum as a
holy place because of all the Christians who had
died there. Although fallen partially to ruin, the
Colosseum has been cleaned up and is now a
popular tourist attraction.
The Roman Forum
In the second century B.C.E., the Romans began
building a system of roads to connect Rome with
all parts of the empire. About 53,000 miles of
roads were built by the Romans and maintained
by the people in conquered countries. Later road
crews often used the same routes to build
modern roads.
The major roads were wide enough for three
chariots to drive side by side. The system of
roads, together with the powerful Roman army,
enabled Rome to maintain their huge empire for
hundreds of years. Parts of these roads can still
be seen today.
The system of Roman roads provided a way for
the army to travel between Rome and other
territories, allowed supplies to be brought in and
trade goods sent out, and enabled army leaders
in the field to communicate through messengers
with their commanders.

A forum was an open space in the central
part of a Roman city. At first it was used as a
place for people to meet, shop on market day,
attend religious festivals, and enjoy public
entertainment. The forum also became the
meeting place for elections and other political
events. This stand-alone transparency can
be used to spur a discussion of the importance
of politics to the Romans and a comparison
of the forum to modern day complexes, such
as city government centers, malls, churches,
and temples.
All Roads Lead to Rome
file
Gladiator contests were not banned in Rome
until 404 A.D. The Romans continued to stage
animal fights until 523 A.D., but it had become
more and more difficult to find wild animals.
Eventually they had to use farm animals like
goats, horses, and bulls.
Latin for “marketplace,” the forum was an
important part of the daily life of many Romans.
All Roman cities had at least one forum. Large
cities like Rome had several.
Eventually the forum became the political center
of cities and included civic and administration
buildings, important temples, and shops.

Building a Roman road:
1. Workers dug two parallel ditches to drain
away excess water.
2. Then they dug foundations down to
bedrock or clay.
3. They covered the foundation with a
layer of sand and four layers of stone
and concrete.
4. They paved the surface with flat rocks.
Roads were slightly higher in the middle,
allowing water to run off into the ditches
along the road.
