THE ROMANS The most powerful nation on earth, the Roman Empire extended across the Meditteranean and Europe to the British Isles. At the height of its power, more than 60 million people were Roman subjects.  They were masters of warfare and geniuses of engineering. The worksheets on this CD explore the everyday lives of the Romans and the influence they had, particularly in Roman Britain.
ANCIENT GREECE The civilization of the ancient Greeks lasted from about 2000 BC until Greece became a Roman province in 146 BC. During that time, the Greeks created styles of architecture, government, and writing that were copied by other ancient civilizations and are still being used all over the world. They began the Olympic games, invented coins, and left us with philosophies and works of art that continue to influence artists and scholars today.
ANCIENT EGYPT The ancient Egyptian civilization lasted for many centuries, from around 3000 to 300 BC. During that time, the Egyptians created massive buildings and elegant works of art. They invented systems of writing, measuring and counting. Egyptian designs, and technological achievements, were admired -- and sometimes copied -- in many countries of the ancient world. And their mysterious, complicated religious beliefs still fascinate scholars and writers today.

THE VIKINGS Traders or Raiders? Warmongering barbarians or peaceful settlers? The worksheets here concentrate on both aspects of this fascinating group of people, who extended their influence right across Europe and across the ocean to the New World. Suberb sailors and expert craftsmen, they were, for over 200 years the most powerful tribe of people on earth.
THE AZTECS In a little over 200 years this band of nomadic Mexicans rose from obscurity to become the most powerful group of people in Central America. Their rapid and violent downfall owed as much to their harsh treatment of  neighbouring tribes and  a religion which by any standards was cruel and blood thirsty, as it did to Cortez and the gold-hungry Spanish conquistadors.
