About this activity

Walk a street and forum of the Roman Republic, over 2,000 years ago, in first person. Ask six original characters (a senator, a merchant, an enslaved worker, a soldier, a mother and a child) what they own, what they may do and what their day is like. Carry each answer to the Power Ladder, stand on the step it shows and pin it, then line the six people up from most power to least.

What students learn

  • A3.8 and A1.1: compare how people of different standing lived in an early society (Rome) and say who had power and who did not
  • A2.5: gather evidence by questioning sources, interpret it, and use it to support an answer
  • Judge how much power a piece of evidence shows by asking who must obey whom (Rome as a republic, before emperors)
