Romans

I have been reading the Roman Mysteries series aloud to Isabelle and Aidan. Originally I didn't realise it was a series - I picked up The Secrets of Vesuvius at the library because it fitted well with Aidan's interest in the Vesuvius eruption and some other reading we had been doing. But their interest was swiftly caught, and we have started to move through the novels.

After reading The Assassins of Rome the children constructed themselves "tunics" from some of Brendon's t-shirts.



Here's Aidan's interpretation of a bulla:



Aidan was so taken by his tunic that he wore it to school the next day. (It stayed on all day too - I was half expecting it to be bundled away into his bag by hometime).
