Trade in the Roman Empire

This great resource looks at why trade flourished in the Roman Empire and led to the growth of towns. It looks at issues such as law and order and ‘Pax Romana.’

The tasks and activities include a missing word activity for the less able, a series of questions and a group work activity which gets students to identify from the map that I have included, where different items came from in the Empire.
