Rome with Kids: 15 Top Things to Do

Written by Barbara Radcliffe Rogers Updated Dec 25, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Traveling with children is a balancing act that is both challenging and extraordinarily rewarding. On one hand, it's a challenge to hold little people's attention and to engage older children and teens. On the other, you want them to get a sense of place and to absorb as much of the local history, culture, and art heritage as possible.

It's tempting to look for playgrounds, familiar fast food logos, and things that are just like home. But your kids are in Rome, so help them savor where they are and do things that are special to that Eternal City.

That's where this list can help. Here, you will find places to visit and things to do that are uniquely Italian and Roman and that highlight Rome's unique place in history, but will grab kids' attention. And for good measure, there are other activities that are just plain fun. Who doesn't like sitting on steps eating ice-cream – especially when it's among the world's best?

Plan your family travels with our list of the top things to do with kids in Rome.

1. See Where the Lions Lived in the Colosseum

2. learn to be a gladiator, 3. watch a puppet show, 4. row a boat or ride a bike through the borghese gardens, 5. eat gelato, 6. meet a mummy and read hieroglyphics in vatican city, 7. look through the hole in the pantheon's roof, 8. find a giant foot, 9. be enchanted by rome after dark, 10. explore the catacombs, 11. find a church on top of a church on top of a house, 12. throw a coin in the fountain, 13. shop for a picnic at campo dei fiori, 14. take a ride in a time elevator, 15. visit nero's golden house, where to stay in rome for families, map of rome with kids: top things to do.

Colosseum

While the giant Flavian Amphitheatre, known as the Colosseum, is the most familiar symbol of Rome and its most popular tourist attraction, it was impossible until a few years ago to visit the part kids relish most. Deep beneath the arena floor, where the spectacles were staged, is a maze of tunnels, passages, and chambers where gladiators and wild animals awaited their deadly confrontations above.

This subterranean holding area, called the hypogeum, held cages for leopards, bears, lions, and elephants that were used either in battles or as part of circuses and other performances. An elevator-like system of pulleys manned by slaves brought the animals up to the arena floor. You'll need to book ahead for afternoon public access to the hypogeum or join a package tour that includes it.

Learn to be a gladiator

Even young kids have heard of Roman gladiators, and here's their chance to learn about them from historical re-enactors who bring this ancient skill to life. Kids can don a tunic and leather gloves to learn authentic gladiator swordplay. The two-hour class begins with a visit to the museum of Gruppo Storico Romano to see genuine artifacts and to try on replicas of armor.

Although kids as young as six can participate, if they're a couple of years older, they'll get more out of it. Other all-day programs are more suitable for adults who want to become a gladiator for a day, but this one is especially good for children. They'll come home with a diploma to prove they're a gladiator.

Watch a puppet show

Puppet theaters are a long-standing tradition in many parts of Europe, and Rome has two different places where your kids can experience these. The first, Teatrino di Pulcinella al Gianicolo , is a traditional open-air puppet theater in the park on Colle del Gianicolo (Janiculum Hill), near Piazzale Garibaldi.

It features the Neapolitan hand-puppet Pulcinella, familiar to English-speakers as the main character in Punch and Judy shows. On weekends, half-hour shows are staged in the morning and late afternoon. They're free, but be sure the kids have a few coins to put in the hat that will be passed around.

At the San Carlino theater, you'll find Pulcinella in a somewhat different setting and format, where the puppets interact with the puppeteers and other performers and musicians in a lively and imaginative show.

Address: Viale dei Bambini

The Borghese Gardens

Rome's second-largest public park gives kids a chance to burn off energy, and you'll be joining Romans in one of their favorite spots. There are all sorts of ways to sightsee around the park. Rent a rowboat on the lake, pedal around in a surrey, rent a bike, or ride a Segway.

There's more: playgrounds, pony rides on weekends, gardens, and a very good zoo. You can ride around the zoo – the Bioparco di Roma – on a cute little train.

Gelato in Rome, Italy

Nearly everywhere in Rome, your kids will certainly spot the carts and shops selling the delicious Italian version of ice-cream. Gelato is cited by some as the biggest reason for traveling in Italy.

Gelato is not just a treat for children, and some of the flavors are more appealing to adult tastes. This list of flavors may help you choose the right ones for all ages.

  • Fregola : tastes like real strawberries, not candy
  • Limone : lemon, refreshing, and a little bit tart
  • Frutti di bosco : mixed berries
  • Bacio : chocolate and hazelnut, like eating cool Nutella
  • Puffo : refers to Italy's version of The Smurf, and is easy to tell by its bright blue color, it usually tastes like bubblegum, but ask for a taste first because sometimes it's licorice.
  • Cioccolato : Chocolate, every kid's favorite (especially if they're wearing light-colored clothes).

Sadly, you can no longer sit on the Spanish Steps eating gelato, as Audrey Hepburn so famously did in Roman Holiday . Because of the damage being done to important monuments by spilled food, Rome enacted a ban on eating on any of the city's historic monuments or fountains.

Along with the Spanish Steps, the marble fountains of Piazza Navona , the walls around the Pantheon , and other places of historic significance are included in the ban. It's not that the Romans are churlish, but they are anxious to protect their city for the next few centuries of tourists to enjoy. A final note of caution: the closer you are to main sights, the more expensive gelato will be, so be sure to check the listed prices before you turn your kids loose to order.

Hieroglyphics in Vatican City

With so many excellent museums and collections in the Vatican , it's hard to know where to begin, especially when you're trying to keep children interested. But a sure bet is the Egyptian Museum in the Cortile della Pigna. Many of the exhibits were brought from the Villa Adriana in Tivoli (a fascinating place to visit just outside of Rome), where the Emperor Hadrian had collected them.

The other advantage of this museum is its size of only nine rooms-not so much that it's overwhelming. In these are some excellent examples of Egyptian art: sculptures of gods and pharaohs, basalt and painted wooden sarcophagi, mummified heads, hieroglyphic inscriptions, animal statues, and papyri. Art from ancient Mesopotamia and monumental reliefs from Assyrian palaces round out the collection.

While you're in Vatican City, see St. Peter's Basilica , maybe with a trip to the top of the dome, and the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo's ceiling. If you do, remember the strict dress code. Not even children can enter wearing shorts or with shoulders uncovered.

The Pantheon

Your kids might not expect to get rained on in the center of such an impressive and solid looking building, but there's a big hole right in the center of the Pantheon's roof. It's been there for about 2,000 years.

While they're wondering why it has a hole in the roof, it might be a good time to tell them that this is the most complete and best preserved ancient Roman building in Rome, built in 27 BC by the Emperor Hadrian. What's more, its dome is more than 42 meters across and hangs there without any supports except those inside the walls.

Now about that hole: Because the walls are busy hiding the supports for the dome, there was no place for windows. So that 3.6-meter circle is the only source of light. Recent research suggests it may have had another purpose, too.

The building is aligned so that on April 21, the day ancients celebrated the founding of Rome, when the Emperor entered the Pantheon at noon, the sun shone directly onto the doorway. As he walked through, he would have appeared wreathed in light as though by magic. If you go on a rainy day, you'll find a big puddle under the center of the dome.

Giant foot in Rome

While you're at the Pantheon, walk behind it to the Piazza della Minerva (where you'll find an obelisk on an elephant's back, by Bernini) and beyond to the tiny Via del Pie' di Marmo, which means Marble Foot Street. Sure enough, there's a marble foot there, almost as big as a small car and wearing a sandal. It's all that's left of a huge statue of the Egyptian goddess Isis, whose cult was popular in ancient Rome.

The statue was one of several large monuments in a temple to Isis and Serapis near here. Given the size of the foot, the statue must have been about 7.6 meters tall.

This isn't the only disembodied giant foot your kids can find in Rome, so you might suggest they see what others they can spot. Hint: there's one in the Vatican Museum , wearing a complete sandal, and a barefoot one in the Capitoline Museum .

Piazza Venezia at night

When the lights go on, Rome's old stones glow, the fountains sparkle, and the city takes on a magical aura. This is when the Romans enjoy an evening stroll around their favorite piazza, after the attractions have closed for the day, and most tourists have headed back to their hotels.

You and your children can join them, on a light-hearted tour that takes you from the lively Piazza Campo dei Fiori to highlights like Piazza Venezia, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and busy Piazza Navona. On an Illuminated Rome Tour for Kids and Families with Gelato and Pizza , the fun-loving guide keeps kids engaged with games, treasure hunts, and photo contests while they learn about Rome's history. Cap off the evening with pizza and Italy's incomparable gelato.

Explore the Catacombs

What kid can resist spooky tunnels, especially when they're tombs? You don't need to mention that they'll get a dose of Roman history as they explore them. Two of the best are just down the road from each other on the Apian Way. The largest is the Catacomb of St. Callisto , dating from the 2nd century AD and the burial site of several early popes. It is colorfully decorated in graffiti showing doves, fishes, and other early Christian symbols.

Below a nearby basilica erected under the emperor Constantine are the Catacombs of St. Sebastian , where the remains of St. Peter and St. Paul were hidden until they were moved to the Vatican and San Paolo Fuori le Mura, respectively.

Walls here are also covered in early Christian graffiti. Contrary to popular belief, Christians didn't hide here from persecution. The catacombs were burial places for those who couldn't afford the kind of extravagant funeral monuments that line the Apian Way. You can get close to these catacombs on Bus 118.

Address: Via Appia Antica 136, Rome

Mosaics inside San Clemente Dome

Urban archaeology is interesting to any age, but to kids, the notion of literally layers of history is especially fascinating. And it's three layers deep at the Church of San Clemente , not far from the Colosseum . After you've admired the gold mosaics inside the dome, descend to see what was discovered during some foundation repairs about 150 years ago. And then go deeper to see what lies below that.

To put it in historical order, easier for kids to picture, begin at the bottom. Some time in the first century AD, a grand building stood here surrounding a courtyard, and next to it was a smaller brick building around a courtyard with a second-century Mithraic temple in it.

Thanks to excavations, you can walk the streets of this Roman neighborhood, see the temple, and look for the spring-fed fountain-all now underground. In the fourth century, these streets, rooms, and courtyards were filled in to form the foundations for a basilica that lasted until about 1100, when it became unstable and was closed. Like the streets and buildings below, it was filled in with rubble, and a new church was built on top of it-the church that stands on top today.

Address: Via di San Giovanni in Laterano 108, Rome

Trevi Fountain

No tourist should leave Rome without following a tradition that's been around since the Romans walked these streets in togas. When they embarked on a journey, ancient Romans often threw a coin into a pool or fountain to ask the gods for a safe return. Today, so many tourists want to come back to the Eternal City that Trevi Fountain is always crowded and its base strewn with coins. The several thousand euros that are scooped out each night go to provide food for the hungry.

Rome's most famous fountain, Trevi was built in the 1700s, but there has been a fountain here since the first century, when it was the terminus of an aqueduct that brought water to the Baths of Agrippa. Although we have no idea which hand the ancients used to toss coins, today's tradition is to use the right hand and throw the coin over your left shoulder.

Teenagers might be interested to know that while the first coin is supposed to bring you back to Rome, you can throw a second one to find love. No guarantees, of course.

Shop for a picnic at Campo dei Fiori

The broad Campo dei Fiori is one of Rome's liveliest squares, not far from the Pantheon and in a neighborhood of narrow medieval streets that are a nice break from the grandeur of public monuments and the ruins of ancient Rome. Here, kids will get the feel of Rome as a real city full of people doing everyday things.

The lively and colorful market in the campo is in full swing through the morning and at lunch time, when you can provision a picnic with gleaming berries and fruits, adding bread fresh from the bakery facing the campo, and cheeses and salamis from the little shops that line the surrounding streets (look for one with a "salumeria" sign).

Notice the street signs in these, too-the streets are named for the tradesmen whose shops lined them in medieval times: Via dei Cappellari means street of hat-makers and Via dei Balestrari means street of crossbow-makers. Kids will be able to translate other early trades using a pocket Italian dictionary.

It's about a 20-minute walk from Campo dei Fiori across the river to the Gianicolo , a large park with views over the city, and a perfect picnic spot.

In a three-dimensional ride at Time Elevator Rome , kids can travel back in time to Rome's early days and watch the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The exciting journey back through the ages brings ancient times to life for kids in a very visual way, making them witnesses to life in ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and 20th-century Rome.

Along with the grandeur of the city under its emperors, kids also see Rome in its darker days, under the Fascist regime of Mussolini. As they meet historical figures, children will feel a sense of life in those eras, complete with sounds and smells and an audio system that lets them choose from several languages.

Visit Nero's Golden House

Even though the story they doubtless know about Nero fiddling while Rome burned isn't true, kids will certainly have heard of this Roman emperor. It is true that he benefited by the leveling of a large section of the city by fire, though, and that he built his palatial Domus Aurea-Golden House-where the city once stood. It was buried by later emperors in an attempt to erase his memory, but that only succeeded in preserving it for people to see 2,000 years later.

Recent excavations have revealed entire rooms lined with marble and decorated in gold and precious stones. You can see some of these rooms and halls and appreciate the unlimited wealth and power of the ancient emperors. He never finished his grand palace; his plans called for it to eventually be as big as Vatican City is today.

Address: Via della Domus Aurea, Rome

We recommend these family-friendly hotels near the top tourist attractions in Rome:

  • Martis Palace Hotel Rome : You'll find boutique luxury here, with connecting rooms that are perfect for families with older children. The staff is helpful, and you'll enjoy sitting on the lovely rooftop deck.
  • The Independent Hotel : This affordable four-star hotel is in the atmospheric Esquilino neighborhood, within walking distance of Termini station, with spacious family suites and a rooftop terrace.
  • iQ Hotel Roma : Despite its mid-range pricing, the hotel is stylishly contemporary and offers bonuses to please everyone in the family: a children's playground, fitness center and sauna, and self-service laundry.
  • Colors Hotel : Stay close to the Vatican at budget prices for colorfully decorated rooms with either private or shared bathrooms.

10 Facts About Ancient Rome

Discover the glory of ancient rome….

Ready for a journey back in time? Here at Nat Geo Kids, we’re about to get the lowdown on this amazing civilisation with our fab facts about the Romans!

visit rome ks2

Article continues below…

Facts about the romans.

1) Rome was founded in 753BC by its first king, Romulus. It grew into a rich and powerful city during the next few hundred years.

2) By AD 117 the Roman Empire included the whole of Italy, all the lands around the Mediterranean and much of Europe, including England, Wales and parts of Scotland.

Did you know that we have a FREE downloadable Romans primary resource ? Great for teachers, homeschoolers and parents alike!

3) Roman legend says that Romulus had a twin brother called Remus. As babies they were abandoned in the area which later became Rome. A she-wolf found and raised them, but when they grew up, Romulus fought and killed Remus and became the first ruler of Rome!

4) The Romans built such a huge empire and conquered new lands, thanks to their strong army. The Roman army could march up to 40km a day!

5) During battle, a Roman soldier or ‘legionary’ first hurled his spear at the enemy, then he fought him with his sword. To protect himself, he carried a wooden shield and wore a metal helmet and armour.

6) The Romans didn’t spend all their time fighting – they were amazing architects and engineers too! They built roads and walls – things we now take for granted.

7) To bring water to their cities, the clever Romans built aqueducts – a system of channels and bridges – to transport water for public baths and toilets!

8) The Romans liked to enjoy their food, often lying down on a couch while eating with their hands. They occasionally used a spoon, but they would never use a knife and fork. Rich Romans liked to eat exotic food, such as stork, roast parrot and even flamingo!

9) The Romans believed in gods and goddesses who ruled over different areas of life. For example, Neptune was the god of the ocean, and they prayed to him to protect them at sea. Temples were built to honour the gods, and people would visit them with offerings.

10) One of the most famous buildings left by the Ancient Romans is the Colosseum  –  a huge ampitheatre in the centre of Rome. This is where members of the public would come to watch sporting events and games, including battles between Roman gladiators!

11) Tunics – two pieces of woollen fabric sewn together at the sides and shoulders, with openings for your arms and head – were the most common clothes in Rome. Some Romans also wore togas – a kind of woollen shawl – to show how wealthy they were.

Italy Landmarks 

Here on this page you will find 10 Famous Italy Landmarks and Attractions in Italy with fascinating information - actually this not only for kids but for all who want to know more about Italy and famous landmarks.

10 Famous landmarks in Italy by Kids World Travel Guide

Italy is one of the most popular tourist countries in the world and the top country to learn about ancient Roman history. There are so many famous monuments, buildings and castles in Italy, but these top 10 landmarks should be recognised by everyone! 

10 Italian Landmarks everybody should know

1. colosseum in rome.

Colosseum in Rome

The Colosseum in Rome is one of the landmarks most people can easily link to Italy. The huge oval amphitheatre stands in the city centre of Rome and construction was started in 70 AD.

Built in Roman design borrowed from the Greeks, the amphitheatre was build in the bad of a dried out lake. About 50,000 people could be seated on the steps of this huge ancient amphitheatre.

The colosseum was the place in those days where the Romans held their po pular fights and games. There were gladiator games, animal hunts and mock sea battles held in the colosseum. 

2. Italy Landmarks: Roman Forum in Rome

Roman forum: foro romano

Also in Rome, right next to the Colosseum is the ' Forum Romanum '. The original ancient town's central square with ruins of the temples, palaces and buildings of ancient Ro me, are a magnificent sight.

The forum was built around 800 BC and was in use for some 1400 years! The ruins of the buildings and temples, however, were only discovered during excavations in 1803!

3. Leaning Tower in Pisa

Leaning tower of Pisa

The famous Leaning Tower is in fact the city cathedral's bell tower, in Italian called ' campanile '. The tower was constructed in 1173 but the structure was miscalculated and built on not so solid ground, so the tower began leaning early on!

It is said that Italian scientist Galileo Galilei used the tower for various gravity experiments, such as dropping various objects from the top of the tower.

The tower is only about 56 m/ 183 ft metres tall while the tower's tilt is actually more than 4.3 m/ 14 ft, when measured. Meaning the top is leaning over so much the towner seems to fall.

In 1999 some soil was taken away from underneath the tower, to lower the degree of the tilt and pull the tower more upright so it would not topple over. If you want to climb to the top of the tower, there are 251 steps to climb!

4. Italy Landmarks: Canale Grande in Venice

Canal Grande in Venice Italy with Gondola

Thousands of tourists come to Venice every year to see the houses built on wooden piles along the many canals and waterways of the city. There are about 500 wooden gondolas and many more water taxis ferrying people across the city.

Venice is called Venezia in Italian. St Mark's Square with the famous St Mark's Cathedral (Basilica San Marco) and the campanile (bell tower) are major attractions. The city's palaces and houses can either be reached by boat or foot, there are no cars driving in this city!

Three bridges cross the over 4 km/ 2.5 miles long Grand Canal, of these the Rialto Bridge is the most famous and also the oldest. By the way, the Canal Grande is only about 5 m/ 17 ft deep.

5. Italy Landmarks: Arena in Verona

Arena di Verona opera festival

The 'Arena di Verona' is a massive amphitheatre and the second biggest in the world, after the colosseum in Rome.

In Roman times, the amphitheatre was used for gladiator fights and theatre performances. Today the amphitheatre is used for an annual opera festival in August, which is very popular with tourists from all over the world.

In Verona, you can also visit the famous balcony at the house of Juliet. Shakespeare's popular love story of Romeo and Juliet is said to have its origins in this town.

6. Italy Landmarks: Pompeii Ruins near Naples

Pompeii ruins

The ancient ruins of Pompeii near Naples in southern Italy are one of Italy's major tourist attractions. The ancient town which was once home to over 10,000 people was destroyed in 79 AD by an volcanic eruption. The nearby volcano Vesuvius  is still active today.

Naples is called Napoli in Italian and famous as the birthplace of the Italian pizza.

The magnificent amphitheatre is one of the most intact buildings and structures still to be seen on this UNESCO world heritage site.

7. Dolomites in Northern Italy

Th e Dolomites are a mountain range in northern Italy a nd part of the Alps region. This mountain region is popular with skiers and snowboarders in winter and hikers, climbers and mountain bikers in summer.

Most mountain peaks are higher than 3,000 m/ 10,000 ft high. Should you want to go hiking there in summer, come prepared as the weather can change quickly and it can be really cold at the mountain top even in summer. But then views are fantastic!

8. Ponte Vecchio in Florence

Florence and Ponte Vecchio Firenze

Th e 'Old Bridge' or as the Italians call it 'Ponte Vecchio' is crossing the Arno River which flows through the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany. Many artisans and craftsmen have their little workshops on this bridge.

Florence is called Firenze in Italian. The historic centre of Florence is also known for its cathedral, palaces; and the Uffizi art galleries are among the most visited by travellers.

Michelangelo's 'David' statue located also in Florence is one of the most famous sculptures in the world. According to the UNESCO about 30% of the world's most important works of art can be found and viewed in Florence!

9. Italy Landmarks: Milan Cathedral

Milan cathedral

The cathedral in Milan/Northern Italy is one of the most spectacular buildings in Italy.

It took nearly six centuries to complete! The 'duomo di Milano' as the Italians call the cathedral is one of the largest church buildings in the world and also in Italy the second largest, after the Vatican's Basilica di San Pietro (St Peter's Cathedral).

Milan is called Milano in Italian. Milan is also known as Italian fashion and shopping capital and is home to one of Italy's most popular soccer clubs - A.C.Milan.

10. St Peter's Cathedral in Rome

St Peter's cathedral Rome

St Peter's Basilica is the most famous and largest cathedral in the world. The place and the church are just awe inspiring! The cathedral is located in Vatican City, a city state and enclave, inside the city of Rome/ Italy.

There are 284 columns with statues of saints flanking the cathedral place. The dome alone is 42 m/ 138 ft in diameter which is more than the width of a soccer field! The cathedral was nevertheless constructed, and finished, in 'only' 170 years.

The Sistine Chapel, next to the Basilica, is also famous for it's painting of the 'Creation of Adam' by Michelangelo.

These buildings are located in Vatican City, which belongs to the Vatican State, the smallest country in the world, which is located in the heart of Rome and most tourists will see these famous attractions when they visit Italy, so we added them to this listing.

Support notes for your workshop

What does learning look like during this virtual visit.

  • Virtual Visits are live interactive workshops linking your classroom to an expert in one of the British Museum's learning rooms.
  • They have been designed to incorporate a broad range of learning techniques.
  • Your students will take an active role throughout the Virtual Visit.
  • Virtual Visits acknowledge that learning is not only about knowledge and understanding. It encourages students to be inspired and excited to visit museums, to develop their close observation competency, and to enhance their communication skills to express and share their own thoughts. 
  • This workshop does not involve virtual reality, augmented reality or a virtual tour of the galleries.

What will be studied during this Virtual Visit?

  • The Virtual Visit begins with an introduction to the British Museum and its collection of eight million objects. 
  • Students explore the concept of treasure and respond to a quiz. The quiz will aid their discovery of how the Treasure Act is used to decide if an object is judged to be treasure or not.
  • Students look at some examples of objects from Roman Britain, and learn that objects can tell us information about the past.
  • Students explore the Frome Hoard, a collection of 52,503 coins from Roman Britain. 
  • The session has a strong narrative element in which students follow the hoard's journey from discovery to display. 
  • Students are guided through a series of challenges which can be completed in the printed booklet, emailed prior to the Virtual Visit, or on a piece of paper if they do not have access to a printed version. 
  • The first challenge is a comprehension activity. Students read job descriptions of 12 experts in the fields of archaeology and heritage. They then decide which expert should work on discovery, researching, and sharing. 
  • Using photographs as illustrations, the Museum expert narrates the process of excavation and what happens to the objects once they arrive at the British Museum to be examined and cleaned by conservators. 
  • Students use what they learnt previously about the Treasure Act to decide if the excavated objects are treasure. 
  • The second challenge is a close observation activity. Students compare a Roman coin with a modern British coin. Students identify the inscription on one of the coins from the Frome Hoard and are supported in translating it from Latin, revealing that the coin depicts Emperor Carausius. 
  • The Museum expert explains who Emperor Carausius was and why he is an interesting emperor for Roman Britain.

Roman Timeline (KS2): Everything You Need To Know Romans

Happy family on holiday in Rome standing by the Trevi Fountain, little girl pointing to Roman architecture she learned about in school.

Who Were The Romans?

What are children in ks2 taught about the roman empire, timeline of roman britain, interesting roman facts, notable names to know.

Have your children been learning all about the Romans in their history lessons?

If your child is in KS2, they may be learning about the Romans, their lives and well-known events throughout Rome and Roman Britain. Need to brush up on your Ancient Rome and Roman history?

We've put together a timeline of key events and individuals , so you can help the kids out with their school work, together with some facts about Romans that kids will love. So, let's travel back in time and explore Ancient Rome, the Roman Empire and its people!  

They were a group of people who originally came from the city of Rome, the capital city Italy. Legend has it that the city was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus, and it was from this very city that the renowned Roman Empire grew. Expanding as far as the North of Africa to parts of Western Asia, Ancient Rome held vast influence and power over many people of different races and cultures.

As part of their KS2 history curriculum, children are taught more about local and global histories to help give them a greater awareness of how Britain's past is connected to the wider world. One element of this is learning about the timeline of Ancient Rome, the Roman Empire and the impact it had on Britain, from the series of invasions the Roman Army made to the establishment of Roman influences and culture in Britain.

BC 750 -  The city of Rome is founded

Legend dictates that the twins Romulus and Remus, raised by a wolf and then later adopted, helped to found the city of Rome in a series of conflicts and confrontations.

BC 509 - Rome becomes a Republic

Rome forms a Republic. Replacing the monarchy that existed, the Romans elected representatives as part of a senate which ruled over Rome and governed it until the formation of the Roman Empire .

BC 58 -50 - Julius Caesar leads the war effort against Gaul and wins

Julius Caesar and the Roman Army he led had conquered what was previously known as 'Gaul', known today as France and Germany, after a series of battles and conflicts which ended victoriously.

BC 55 - 54 - Julius Caesar attempts to invade  Britain and eventually is successful

After this success, he attempted to invade Britain. Initially unsuccessful in his first attempt in 55 BC, Caesar was victorious in winning a series of battles following his second attempt in 54 BC. Though this did not result in the overall conquest of Britain,  it had now become an area of interest to the Romans as a territory to conquer and influence.

BC 49 - Crossing the Rubicon

Going against the rules of the Republic, Caesar sought to consolidate and keep his position of power following his victory at Gaul when others wished to remove his authority. Crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC, he started a civil war with the 13th Legion assisting him,  eventually succeeding.

BC 44 - Julius Caesar becomes dictator but is later assassinated

In 44 BC, he declared himself as ruling dictator for life, however, this was not to last. Following this announcement, a group of senators plotted against him, resulting in his assassination.

BC 27 - Augustus became the first Emperor of Rome

Augustus became the first-ever ruler of Rome, crowned as its Emperor. Originally known as 'Octavian', Augustus ruled firmly and Rome entered a period called Pax Romana, known as a time of peace because of the use of military and legal authority within Rome and its expanding empire.

AD 43 - Emperor Claudius gives orders for the legions to invade Britain

Under orders from Emperor Claudius and under the command of Aulus Plautius, 40,000 soldiers invaded Britain and successfully took over Camulodunum (what is now Colchester), the capital at the time.  During this time, the Roman Army had grown in strength,  and as a result, they were able to conquer the centre of the Catuvellauni tribe's power.

AD 47 - Londinium is founded by the Romans

A settlement called Londinium was founded near the River Thames. This settlement marked the beginning of an area that would flourish and develop over time to become the centre of trade and politics, the capital of England that we know and see today.  

AD 43 -51 - Caratacus, leader of the Catuvellauni, leads resistance forces against the Romans and is defeated

After leading several campaigns against the invading Roman influence, Caratacus is arrested and taken to Rome where he spent the rest of his days.

AD 60 - 61 - Boudicca leads a rebellion against the Roman Invasion

Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni Tribe, led a rebellion against the invading Roman armies, led by Suetonius Paulinus, fiercely fighting, destroying Camulodunum, Londinium and Verulamium (now St Albans). Following the Battle of Watling Street, Boudicca is rumoured to have died but the cause is unknown.

AD 75 - 80 - Caerwent is founded

Throughout the Romanisation of Britain, the Romans built several settlements, towns and cities which took on typical elements of their influence and architecture. One example specified in the curriculum is the town of Caerwent which belonged to the Silures, who became romanised following the invasion.

AD 79 - Mount Vesuvius, located on Pompeii, erupts

AD 80 - The Colosseum is built in Rome

AD 122 - Hadrian's Wall is built in Roman Britain

To create a better defence against Scotland, the Romans built Hadrian's Wall to solidify their position, named after Emperor Hadrian.

AD 182 - Tribes including the Brigantes start to build up resistance against the Romans, which continues over time

AD 211 -  Britannia splits into two: Britannia Superior and Inferior

AD 259 - The Gallic Empire is formed as Britain, Gaul and Spain become independent of the Roman Empire

AD 296 - Britannia is recaptured

AD 391 - Christianity becomes the official religion of the Roman Empire

AD 400 - Roman Army withdraw from Britain

The Roman Army withdrew their armies from Britain to Italy, where the Goths were attacking under the lead of Alaric the Goth.

AD 425 - Roman influence in Britain diminishes

By 425 AD, the influence and occupation of the Roman people had gradually all but disappeared with the removal and abandonment of settlements and territories.

AD 467 - Fall of the Roman Empire

Here are some fun facts about the Romans to help your children's history learning:

  • They stayed in Britain for nearly 400 years
  • Julius Caesar was the first Roman ruler to appear on a coin using a profile or head, and the first to get a  bust made!
  • Many Roman objects and sites still remain around the world today - for example, the Roman Baths in Bath, the Colosseum in Rome itself and the Amphitheatre of Mérida in Spain are just a few examples. Future history-related trip sorted!
