      The legacy of Rome

      COLLABORATIVE PROJECT

      A short video documentary

       

      Much of what we see now as the legacy of Rome was heavily influenced by Greece. Rome may have conquered the Greek territory, but Greek culture conquered Rome.

      Is this true for us today? How much of our culture is influenced by the Roman Empire?

      In this project you will use everything you've learnt about Ancient Rome. What are the most important parts of its legacy? Structures? Inventions? Literature? Social structures?

      What's in the image?

      Farnese Bull

      This is a Roman copy of an Hellenistic period sculpture. Many original Greek sculptures have been lost but, fortunately, we still have the Roman copies.

      This amphitheatre, known as the Colosseum, is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering.

      It was designed to maximize visibility and audibility, and everything was structured to make it possible to evacuate its 50,000 spectators in five minutes!

      Infrastructures

      t4-multimedia

      Rome built many impressive infrastructures, like the aqueduct of Segovia, which provided water to the city.

      Sometimes water had to be carried from very far away. In the case of Segovia, water came from over 16 km away!

      Find out:

      • What other infrastructures did the Romans build?
      • How are they similar or different to the infrastructures built today?

      Seneca the influencer

      t5-multimedia

      Seneca, or Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (because his father had the same name), was a Roman philosopher born in Hispania, in Cordoba.

      He was very successful and influential, although that also won him some very powerful enemies, like the emperors Caligula and Nero.

      competence

      Cultural awareness and expression

      Competence in cultural awareness and expression involves understanding and respecting the importance of diversity and how ideas and meaning are creatively expressed and communicated in different cultures through a range of arts and other cultural forms.

      1. Make a list of the aspects of Roman culture and history that have left a lasting impression.

      Remember the things you have learnt about their engineering, literature, religion or art.

      2. Work with your group to plan, prepare, and film a video documentary with your findings. Explain:

      • Why you chose each aspect and why you think it has been influential.
      • Is it still important today or was it only important in the past?

      3. Be sure to organise your video and plan in advance. Can you make it funny or surprising to keep your audience's attention? Maybe you want to make your documentary like a funny TV commercial, or put another spin on it!

      Hint: Consider recording the audio for your video separately so you can be heard clearly and edit the content. There are many video editing apps available, so make your video as professional as possible.

      Etc., short for Et cetera, means “and others” in Latin.
