Roman Roads

 

Before building our own (candy) Roman road, we watched a little video with loads of information about the construction of roads in the Ancient Roman Empire. From 'Today I Found Out' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqbAkAjOw5s

Thanks to an excess of seasonal candy, we were able to debate which items could serve as rubble, concrete slabs, pebbles/rock, hard stone and paving stone. Information varies on exactly what materials were used and in which order, so we added a little common sense to the traditional 'Mix of Six'.
