Roman Law, Latin, and Christianity
Understand that Roman law became the basis for legal systems across Europe and beyond, that Latin is the root of French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian and gave English hundreds of words (e.g. exit, video, annual, education), and that Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire, eventually becoming its official religion under Emperor Constantine
Typical age: 9–11 years
“Could your child give you examples of English words that come from Latin and explain how Roman law and Christianity spread across Europe through the Roman Empire?”
