In the mornings, you would wake up to the sound of your father getting ready for work. He is a merchant, and he leaves early to open his shop in the forum. Your mother is already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. She makes you a simple meal of bread, cheese, and olives.

After breakfast, you and your friends head out into the streets to play. Your favorite game is a kind of tag called "lupus" (wolf). You run and chase each other through the narrow streets, laughing and shouting.

At midday, you go home for lunch. Your mother has made a delicious stew, which you eat with your family. After lunch, you help your mother with the housework. You sweep the floor, fetch water from the well, and help to prepare dinner.

In the afternoons, you attend school. Your school is a small room in the back of a temple. Your teacher is a strict old man, but he is also very knowledgeable. He teaches you about the history of Rome, the Roman gods, and the art of rhetoric.

After school, you go home and play some more. You might play with your toys, or you might go outside and play with your friends. You might even go to the baths with your father.

In the evenings, you have dinner with your family. After dinner, you help your mother to clean up. Then, you go to bed, exhausted from a long day of play and learning.

Life as a child in ancient Rome was very different from life for children today. But it was also a lot of fun. Roman children had the opportunity to learn about the world around them, to play with their friends, and to grow up in a loving family.
