education and education in the Roman Empire

The events in the LWL-Römermuseum not only offer entertainment, but also a valuable opportunity to gain knowledge of antique Roman education and education. As shown in the Imperium Romanum , the training in the Roman Empire was strongly based, listening and oral instruction. At that time, education was often a privilege of the upper layers and concluded clear gender differences.

girls were prepared for their future roles in the household, while boys were led to the responsibility as a Father Familias through comprehensive training. Practical experiences and social skills played a central role in the upbringing of children. Despite the challenges that resulted from the hierarchy of society, the children in the Roman Empire had the opportunity to obtain fundamental knowledge of subjects such as grammar, rhetoric and ethics.

Family Sunday in the LWL-Römermuseum is not only an opportunity to make cultural education tangible, but also a way to reflect on the mistakes of the past and its meaning for the present.
