[CASL-L] Resources for Roman Life

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hello!

I am looking for ideas to help a teacher find sources on Roman life.  I am
going to the the Library of Congress, ResearchitCT, and our databases, but
is there anything else out there that you/your teachers use to help with
projects related to this topic?  This is the description that the teacher
gave me:

 I was wondering what kind of assistance you could offer for my kids doing
research on Roman life. I'm going to give students a choice between doing a
culinary project or a project about identity. I have some good web
resources for culinary projects in terms of authentic recipes, but would
love some resources on the social context of food (different classes,
different times of day, special occasions).

Also, I was wondering if you had resources on other aspects of Roman life.
I'm asking students to create a profile of a person (fictional or based on
a historical figure) which includes occupations, social class and
activities. I am a big fan of Fant & Lefkowitz' Women's Life in Greece and
Rome which has an online edition ( http://www.stoa.org/diotima/an
thology/wlgr/ ) but I was wondering if we have other resources in our
collection our kids could use.

Any and all suggestions is appreciated!

Respectfully,
