Roman Clans

On Friday the students worked in table groups and received Roman names and designed a clan flag. Students first drew their clan name out of a jar, which became their middle name. Male names, and the name used to address the entire clan, ends in ius. Female clan names end in ia. Students also drew individual praenomen, or first names and cognomen, or last names. After the students had their new Roman names they worked as as clan and designed a clan flag. The slide show below shows the clans with their flags and Roman names.
