=Here is what I learned today:= 1. Women were not considered citizens of Rome. Only adult free men were citizens. Women were not allowed to drink wine. Their husbands would kiss their lips to find out if they have had wine. If he tasted any, she usually received a beating! 2. Roman children would come home from school and play with toys- dolls, wooden swords. They played tic tac toe and knucklebones. Knucklebones was like jacks but with real bones. The boys played [|war games] with wooden swords. They played "Troy" where a whole pack of kids, outnumbering one child, would try to drag him across a designated line. Girls would play boardgames, lift weights and play with dolls. The site was very simple so I only used the back button and I clicked on links at the bottom of the page for more indepth study. http://rome.mrdonn.org/index.html I found their published book for sale on an educational website.
