Pbs: The Roman Empire of the 1st Century: Religion and Politics in Daily Life

Curated by ACT

For this lesson, students will examine various aspects of religion in ancient Rome including the role of mythology, polytheism versus. monotheism, the treatment of Jews and Christians, and the spread of Christianity. To guide their learning, students will complete a Reading Guide based on the content from the companion Web site and work in small groups to create projects that teach others about various aspects of religious life in ancient Rome. A final discussion about the separation of church and state in today's modern governments will tie what has been learned to present day topics.
