A roman mosaic

Ancient Worlds: Romans

Are you ready for a Roman quest in Yorkshire?

Come and experience the ‘Romanisation’ of Britain by delving into the past with a Roman soldier’s footprint, handling real Roman objects and using evidence to find the Romans in Yorkshire.

In this workshop, students will work together to identify objects from different ancient periods of time in our Leeds Story Gallery followed by an opportunity to discuss and try on some Roman armour. When returning to the education space in this workshop, they will then take part in three different activities: handling real Roman artifacts, designing their own mosaic, and identifying mystery objects.

This workshop can be made virtual if more suitable, please contact us to discuss this option.

Suitable for: KS2

Duration: 1.5 hours
