The animators at the Institute of Classical Studies' suburban camp taught them everything they needed to know to avoid getting lost among such greats as C. I. Caesar and M. T. Cicero.
This year, the second week of July at the Institute of Classical Studies was dedicated to a suburban camp aimed at primary school pupils. Participants had the opportunity to learn about various aspects of life in ancient Rome. Divided into four groups representing prominent Roman families — the Aemilii, Cornelii, Iulii and Servii — the children made their own tunics, learnt to read and write in Old Roman cursive script, mastered Roman numerals, built houses for the lares, created beautiful mosaics and tasted Roman pastries and the famous fish sauce (garum). They even underwent military training with minimal loss of life!
They were taken there by the suburban camp of the Department of Classical Studies of the Faculty of Arts MU. Thanks to it, the children learned to sail on the sea, to move nimbly in a jib, to build a Trojan horse, to organize chariot races and much more.
Many adventures awaited them along the way, during which they learned how to shoot a bow, give first aid or extinguish the burning Troy. Take a look at the new suburban camp of the Department of Classical Studies of the Faculty of Arts MU.
