Creating a Roman Business in Pompeii: A Comprehensive Project

This project explores the creation of a fictional business that could have existed in ancient Roman Pompeii.

Additionally, they will produce two colorful flyers to advertise their venture, emphasizing the suitability of their chosen location. Furthermore, the project includes translating a Roman tombstone inscription into a script, capturing the essence of Roman culture and traditions. Key elements like character motions, thoughts, and setting will bring the lessons to life.
