A look at the life of Roman children in Britain. It explains how tough life was for the British children and how their education was limited to hearing traditional stories and songs. After the Roman invasion, some began to read and write in Latin. This is demonstrated by Bettany Hughes using a wax tablet, as she explains that even the Roman education was mainly for boys. We see how the system was designed to prepare the boys for life in the army. It also explores some of the games such as Knucklebones and we see examples of toys such as a gladius (sword) and a child's shoe.
