Field Trip YAY



Our field trip is sure to be awesome!!! Here are some great places we should visit...
To learn about Roman art, we can visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which has a great collection of Roman Art. We would sure learn a lot if we went there. We could also visit the Colosseum, which was one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. It is located in the center of the city of Rome, Italy. We could imagine that we were watching the events that happened in the great amphitheater and learn about their culture. We could also visit the Lunt, which was a fort built by the Romans. This fort was known for the Gyrus, which was a large circle-like ring used for training horses. Also what is unique about this fort is that it has a big bulge on its side unlike all the other forts, which were built with straight lines. It'd be very interesting to visit this fort! Another cool place we could visit is the Temple Of Vesta, where we can look closely at the architecture and see the ancient Romans' style of building. Another place we should visit is the Pantheon, which was also an ancient Roman temple. The Pantheon is one of the city's most spectacular sights! We could also study its architecture, which was praised. We could learn more about their building ways by actually seeing actual ancient Roman building styles instead of just reading it from our textbook. This trip would be great and everyone would get a better understanding of the Roman Empire.
