Walking in the past Project carried out by the 5th class pupils
Walking in the past This activity is born after the reading of the look “Arianna negli Scavi di Ercolano” (Arianna in Herculaneum Ruins) by B. Cantamessa and it was the starting point to work on studying about our territory and its archeological beauties. After visiting the Excavations pupils have had the idea to set in them scenes from the daily life making use of information from history on the life during Roman time and creating almost a photostory. The dialogues have been written by pupils, guided in some points by the teachers, and they have also created the characters and chosen the setting, only the customs are carelessly and this is due to spontaneity of the young actors.
I’m your Flamen,as we decided.I’m speaking for all of you. We are here to venerate the dead emperors.Now we call..Antonius
I’m Antonius.I was a slave and now I’m free.We venerate the great emperors.Now we call Raphael.
I’m….Raphael and this is….dedicated to Hercules:the walls are painted with Hercules’ s pictures and those of goddnesses Juno and Minerva,then we see Neptune and his wife.Look,the slaves are coming.What do they want?
I’m the slave Noemi and I need your help:every night I dream to get married to the slave Aldous but I can’t because my master doesn’t want and he can’t punish me
I’m the slave Alexandra.I’m a poor countrywoman and I work hard every day.Why do you work so hard in Herculaneum?

Well then,call Lucilla! Husband,Lucilla our slave is very sad because even if she is a free slave she can’t marry her beloved Antonio. I was thinking…considering that your last business was a success,why don’t we buy her freedom?We need only twenty “sesterzi”
Antonio,my darling,now I have to go because the master is calling me.He wants to talk to me Come back soon!
I want to tell you that from now you are free,go and be happy Hello my master,were you looking for me
