Using Roman History Pages in the Classroom

Choosing Colors for Ancient Rome
When coloring these pages, you can aim for historical accuracy. The Tyrian purple dye was highly expensive and reserved for the elite, making it the logical choice for Caesar's toga. Roman armor was typically made of bronze and iron, so metallic shades like copper, silver, and gray work well for the soldiers' gear.
For the laurel wreaths, use rich greens to represent the fresh leaves given to victorious commanders during their triumphs.
Details to Look For
Our collection includes various depictions of the leader's life. You will find classical busts resting on marble columns, which look great shaded in soft grays and creams to mimic carved stone. The scenes with the Roman Senate and astronomers offer a chance to color intricate architectural backgrounds, including tall pillars and stone steps.
The Roman coin medallions are another interesting detail, allowing colorists to experiment with gold and bronze tones to make the currency look aged and authentic.
