About This Lesson
This is an activity where the children investigate what food the Romans ate and how different it is from our food. The handout is brilliant for children to work through independently and they can come up with their own roman menu.

The note about the vomitorium
The note about the vomitorium is NOT TRUE. Vomitoria were a series of entrance or exit passages in an ancient Roman amphitheater or theater, coming from the Latin word "vomo, vomere, vomui, vomitus," which means "to spew forth," NOT rooms where people went to throw up after stuffing themselves at dinner. Please stop the continuation of this misconception about the ancient world.

An excellent activity for children to research and create their own menu. Would be great to actually create the menu!
