The Roman Imperial Period

Especially for young people from approximately 14 - 17 years

Roman emperors were masters of propaganda in both image and writing. The programme on the Roman Empire aims to give pupils an insight into the interplay between these by means of central genres such as the portrait of the emperor, the jewellery stones or the coins. The use of myths to legitimise rule is also addressed. On the basis of selected examples, students will learn how to deal with Latin inscriptions - a special challenge for Latin classes, which of course are not provided with translations.
