Educational cartoons about life in Rome

If you have been living on Mars for the last few years and not heard/seen/read Horrible Histories then I suggest you check the books here or DVDs here.  The rest of you will by now be wondering what next on the history front in terms of something that appeals to youngsters, keeps their attention and educates them.

A small but useful answer is the two animations below.  Ray Laurence, the Professor of Roman history and archaeology at the University of Kent has produced two short cartoons that have been seen by over half a million people.

A day in the life of a seven-year old Roman girl

A day in the life of a teenage Roman boy
